Pages : 217
Book Description
Major findings of a study of the issues affecting the introduction of metric practices throughout the U.S. shipbuilding industry are presented in this report. The study aimed to determine how the industry's markets, supplies, and operations would be affected by the external influences driving, not only shipbuilding, but the entire national industrial base toward the metric system of weights and measures. This report identifies the forces which make conversion to metric usage necessary or desirable, identifies cultural and operational impediments to the conversion process, and proposes pragmatic recommendations for dealing with the major issues at both the individual shipyard and industry levels. This report is the result of extensive discussions with individuals in industry and government who are actually involved in metrication, as well as members of the marine industry with and without experience in metrication. Surveys of shipbuilders and suppliers provided valuable insight on the perceptions and experiences of these sectors. These views became the basis for further investigation and discussion.

Maritime Metrication: A Recommended Metric Conversion Plan for the U.S. Maritime Industry

Languages : en
Pages : 133
Book Description
This report presents, for the U.S. maritime industry and for those government agencies concerned with maritime matters, a comprehensive plan for orderly conversion to the International System of metric units (SI). In this context, the maritime industry includes both management and labor interests in the areas of ship and terminal operations, shipbuilding, marine equipment manufacturing and supply, naval architecture, and marine and marine-related engineering. Eight principal recommendations are made. The report includes a brief background survey of the status of U.S. metric conversion. It summarizes recent United Kingdom, Australian, and New Zealand metrication experience, focusing on the applicability of their experience to metric conversion in the U.S. maritime industry. The recommended industry conversion program is accompanied by a discussion of the organizations that make up the industry, their interdependencies, the recommended time-phasing of their conversion to SI, and some potential problem areas. The functions and roles of the key maritime-related federal agencies and several key industry organizations during the conversion are discussed. (Author).
