Objective:
Identify and validate ship construction and repair business processes, develop and streamline the processes into standard work elements, implement the streamlined processes and integrate the solutions in a coordinated approach for all value chain members.
Summary:
The SHIPWAY 2.0 project targeted the Navy customer value chain to continue earlier efforts that focused on implementing Lean best practices in internal shipyard and shipyard-supplier processes. This project focused on the business and information processes that involve the shipyard customer base, both for new construction and repair.
In Phase 1, the project team selected and analyzed 12 value streams across four product lines, streamlined the associated processes into standard work elements; implemented the streamlined processes; and integrated the solutions in a coordinated approach across all product lines.
The Phase 2 effort accomplished the same cost-reducing efficiencies across nine new value streams across the Surface Ship (LCS) Construction, Carrier Repair and Submarine Repair product lines.
Phase I and II value streams include:
