CATALOGUE OF SHIP PRODUCIBILITY IMPROVEMENT CONCEPTS

This catalogue is the product of a multi-year project to organize information relating to the improved producibility of Navy ships. This information is largely of a qualitative nature, and deals with all aspects of ship design and construction. Individual suggestions are presented in the form of very short abstracts. These are organized according to the Navy ship Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) coding system. The catalogue is intended to provide a ready reference of producibility information for the student and naval designer. This report has been prepared under the Memorandum of Understanding to Support Program Development in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering between the United States Naval Sea Systems Command and the University of Michigan. It has been funded by an Office of Naval Research Grant (Number N00014-90-J-1404).
