Objective:
Using an industrial engineering and lean manufacturing approach, this project reviewed and evaluated the environmental impacts of production techniques and management systems used in ship production and repair facilities. The most useful environmental performance metrics were selected and used as benchmarks to measure and report future improvements to air/land/water quality, natural resources, time and cost efficiency and management techniques. This effort improved overall facility and environmental compliance resulting in less enforcement and related fines and litigation, more efficient utilization of resources and energy use, and therefore direct and indirect cost savings.
