In 1981 the leaders of the National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP) recognized the need for greater focus on shipbuilding education the result was the establishment of an education panel (SP-9) within the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers Ship Production Committee the implementation arm of the NSRP. The first project authorized by the panel was a textbook on advanced concepts of ship production. This book is the product of that effort.
The U. S. shipbuilding industry is considered to be in a technology revolution as advanced concepts of production are implemented. An important ingredient of that revolution is the education of professional persons in, or entering, the industry. Until now there has been no single text available to students that described in terms appropriate for shipbuilding the modem concepts of production and production planning. The objective of the authors was to provide such a text.
The principal authors for this textbook are Dr. Colin P. Hammon and Professor Richard Lee Storch of the University of Washington. Professor Howard M. Bunch, University of Michigan, had final administrative and technical responsibility in that role he exercised review and revision authorship. Appreciation is expressed to the following persons who provided advisory reviews, comments, and information: Mr. Robert Baseler, General Dynamics, Quincy Division Mr. William Blaiklock, Bath Iron Works Mr. C. P. Buckley, Todd Pacific Shipyards, Los Ange-les Division Mr. Robert Slaughter, Ingalls Shipbuilding and Mr. William Zeigler, Newport News Shipbuilding. Other valuable comments were provided by Mr. John Peart, Avondale Shipyards Mr. Raymond Ramsay, Naval Sea Systems Command and Mr. Paul Vickers, University of Michigan. Mr. George O’Keefe, Peterson Builders, provided essential help in the preparation of figures. Mr. William Shoemaker, Norfolk Naval Shipyard, and Mr. Frank Bankes, Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, provided much of the material used in Chapter IX. The technology transfer seminar series conducted at Avondale Shipyards provided valuable material used in Chapters V and VI.
A special expression of indebtedness is given to L. D. Chirillo, L. D. Chirillo Associates. Mr. Chirillo is the driving force behind the identification and documentation of the shipbuilding logic and principles that form the framework of the system presented in this text. His manuscripts, including "Outfit Planning,” "Product Work Breakdown Structure,” "Integrated Hull Construction, Outfitting, and Painting,” "Process Analysis Via Accuracy Control,” "Design for Zone Outfitting,” and "Line Heating” were used extensively in Chapters III, IV, VI, VII, and VIII. The logic developed in those works perpermeates the entire text.
Preparation of the textbook was a project managed and cost-shared by The University of Michigan for the National Shipbuilding Research Program. This program is a cooperative effort of the U.S. Maritime Administration’s Office of Advanced Ship Development, the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Shipbuilding Industry, and selected academic institutions.
