The increased shipbuilding industry demand for information about Lean has led NSRP to create the Lean Shipbuilding Initiative^® (LSI).  This initiative provides the Lean community a virtual gathering place in order to better leverage industry's successes to date and accelerate shipyard Lean transformation by facilitating a joint learning curve.  LSI offers a single access point for details about Lean in this industry, significantly reducing time spent searching for this information on other websites and in a variety of publications.

LSI is the result of a growing body of Lean work by NSRP, particularly in the area of collaborative R&D and technology transfer.  The planning and execution of the NSRP-sponsored Lean Shipbuilding and Ship Repair Forum also supported this new initiative.

Members of the broad U.S. shipbuilding & repair community are invited to participate in the Lean Shipbuilding Initiative^® frequently to see updates to the Lean calendar, R&D deliverables, presentations, and website  links.  In addition, you are invited to join the LSI e-mail notification list.  Notifications will be sent whenever upcoming Lean events are announced.
