CONSTRUCTION PLANNING AND MANPOWER SCHEDULES FOR SINGLE SCREW MULTI PURPOSE MOBILIZATION PD214 IN COOPERATION WITH KAWASAKI HEAVY INDUSTRIES

Identifies shipbuilding production methods and procedures used by Japanese yards that provide the ability to deliver vessels of similar size and complexity more rapidly than American yards. By contracting with a modern Japanese shipbuilder to produce a detailed ship production plan and schedule, the Maritime Administration can compare specific elements of the production process to identify areas where the construction time in the U.S. may be shortened. The ship construction process is described by developing schedules, manpower plans and facilities utilization information in sufficient detail to meet this goal.
