Title: Leapfrog Technology to Standardize Equipment and System Installation, Section 9 and 10 - Review and Approval Process
Abstract: Abstract : Current shipyard standards for equipment and system installation standards are almost universally based on design standards developed for U.S. Navy Warships from the 1950s through to the 1970s. The practice in warship design has been to base the designs for new vessels on the designs developed for old vessels. As a result very little change in manufacturing or shipyard installation practices has occurred in warship design. On the other hand there has been significant pressure to improve productivity on the commercial side of the house in the interest of becoming globally competitive. World class shipbuilding competitiveness is based on acquiring and implementing state-of-the-art shipyard process technology achieving high productivity in a motivated workforce within the framework of a high performance organizational structure and innovative ship design technology that will provide a technological edge of superiority over world class competition.
