This Manual is a treatise on planning and production control intended for use by the middle level managers and supervisors in a commercial shipyard. The basic theme is Production Oriented Planning where planning for the use of resources is oriented squarely with the basic goal of the shipyard which is to produce quality ships on time at a profit.
Many smaller shipyards are currently struggling to survive in the marketplace. Most shipyard managers recognize that improving the productivity of the production labor force is sorely needed. Direct attempts at improvement are often frustrated, or produce only short-lived advantages. Use of a larger whip usually antagonizes the situation and makes improvement even less likely in the long run. Clearly, a different focus may be the key to success. Production workers receive considerable support from other segments of the shipyard. They are furnished with plans, work packages, facilities, tools, work places, material, and similar items indispensable to accomplishing the work. If these items of support are missing, or confusing to the worker, or arrive - late, or are in unusable condition, or otherwise do not provide the vital support needed, then there is little that the production worker can do about it other than gird himself for an onslaught of criticism about his productivity.
