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.
