  1. Strategic Plan Joint SNAME-ASNE Ship Design Committee 5 March 2007

  2. What Direction Should Ship Design Take?

  3. The Need for a Strategic Plan

  4. Problem Statement • “Unbudgeted cost growth in shipbuilding programs has reached an untenable level” – ASN (RDA) • “U.S. shipbuilders require greater than twice the design labor hours and cycle time” – NSRP Strategic Investment Plan • “lack of design maturity when introducing new technologies led to rework, increasing growth in labor hours” - GAO

  5. Report by RAND for UK MoD 69% due to late product definition/technical information

  6. Global Shipbuilding Industrial Base Benchmarking Study Section 4.2 Priority areas for improvement: • Design for production (F7) • Production engineering (F6) • Dimensional accuracy an QC (F8) • Ship design (F1) • Steelwork coding system (F4) • Outfit production information (F3) • Parts listing procedure (F5) • Lofting methods (F9) • Steelwork production information (F2) Top 2 and 5 of the top 10 recommendations are in Design, Engineering and Production Engineering

  7. Dramatic Increase in Naval Ship Design Workload

  8. Design Capability Elements - Current Status Declining Naval Ship Design Capability STAFF TOOLS PROCESS SPECS

  9. Ship Design Enterprise Collaboration • Level I: Capability Planning • Our community must find a way to work together to develop a consensus vision of a national Naval ship design capability • Consistent metrics of current status and a roadmap to future capability • In executable, actionable detail • Use the common vision to build specific elements as opportunity presents Build toward a common vision rather than building incompatible piece parts

  10. Capability Planning Navy Surface Ship Design Capability • STAFF • Standard KSAs for specific design roles • Competency Career tracks • Retain specialist capabilities • Community metrics similar to NAVSEA’s Human Capital Digital Dashboard (HCDD) STAFF TOOLS PROCESS SPECS

  11. Capability Planning Navy Surface Ship Design Capability • TOOLS • Interoperability framework • Authoritative analysis tools • Plug compatible modules • Common parts catalog • Community metrics similar to NAVSEA’s HCDD STAFF TOOLS PROCESS SPECS

  12. Capability Planning Navy Surface Ship Design Capability • SPECS • Continue development of ABS Naval Vessel Rules • Consensus national ship specification improvement program • Panel projects to upgrade specific specs • Community metrics similar to NAVSEA’s HCDD STAFF TOOLS PROCESS SPECS

  13. Capability Planning Navy Surface Ship Design Capability • PROCESS • Consensus definition of design process and products • Common design work breakdown structure • Standard statements of design maturity and risk reduction • Community metrics similar to NAVSEA’s HCDD STAFF TOOLS PROCESS SPECS

  14. Ship Design Enterprise Collaboration • Level II: Capability Planning • + • Capability Development • Our community should consider a collaborative effort to select and/or develop design capability elements identified by the roadmap • Deal with industry issues as an industry • Clearinghouse and quality control agent for sponsors and developers • Successful collaboration models exist (NSRP, National Institute of Aerospace (NIA), Center for Innovation in Ship Design (CISD), etc.)

  15. Ship Design Enterprise Collaboration • Level III:Capability Planning • + • Capability Development • + • Design Application • Our community should consider a national design team for design prior to detail design • Long intervals between early stage designs at individual yards don’t provide the business case for sustained capability • Adequate design work nationally to keep team and individual skills sharp Challenging times call for radical action

  16. The Strategic Plan

  17. Mission Statement of the Joint SNAME-ASNE Ship Design Committee The mission of the Ship Design Committee is to advance the art, science and practice of ship design in thedevelopment and construction of naval ships, commercial ships and advanced ships and craft, and the multi-disciplines allied thereto.

  18.
