  1. Review of Shipbuilding Quality and Current Technical Challenges By Dave Iwamoto Tripartite Meeting 2010, Tokyo

  2. What is Quality? “Workmanship” Quality “Engineering & Designing” “Total power in meeting contractual commitments” Tripartite Meeting 2010, Tokyo

  3. Workmanship • Continuously maintained • Both.... own and outsourced labour • What is the balance -? • Skill transfer • Transfer unsteady •  Training required to fill gap • Mind training •  Responding naturally to disorders • .... Narrow miss experience • Coordination with design instructions • Design workmanship quality Tripartite Meeting 2010, Tokyo

  4. Share between own labour and outsourced labour Source: The Shipbuilders’ Association of Japan (SAJ) Tripartite Meeting 2010, Tokyo

  5. Workmanship • Continuously maintained • Both.... own and outsourced labour • What is the balance -? • Skill transfer • Transfer unsteady •  Training required to fill gap • Mind training •  Responding naturally to disorders • .... Narrow miss experience • Coordination with design instructions • Design workmanship quality Tripartite Meeting 2010, Tokyo

  6. Design Workmanship • Needed for seeking benefits of efficient repeat work •  More details covered by design • Dependence on design workmanship information •  Lose flexibility in making judgment on site • Design workload is overloaded •  Less experienced designers engaged •  IT/mechanized process?  coverage and cost Tripartite Meeting 2010, Tokyo

  7. Engineering & Designing • Rule complying skills • > Complying in a smarter way -- competing element • > Less prescriptive rule making -- more thinking • Customer satisfaction is the key • > Rules needing studies -- beyond capacity of yard? • Co-work among stakeholders including resources for studying (Tripartite framework helps) • > Importance of intellectual property rights • Incentive to continue study (security and reward) • Innovative technology Tripartite Meeting 2010, Tokyo

  8. How Can We Measure Quality? Deficiencies by main categories in 2009 (total: 86,820) Others 35% (29,967) Life saving appliances 14% (12,131) Fire safety measures 17% (14,619) ISM related 4% (3,386) Safety of navigation 16% (14,207) Stability, structure and relevant equipment 7% (6,462) Load lines 7% (6,048) Share of “Stability, structure and relevant equipment”, the most shipbuilding-related category is small (7%) and has been declining since 2000 (13%).

  9. Engineering and Designing • Rule complying skills • > Complying in a smarter way -- competing element • > Less prescriptive rule making -- more thinking • > Rules needing studies -- beyond capacity of yard? • > Importance of intellectual property rights • Innovative technology • > Courage to make attempts -- be consistent • > Skill Transfer -- person dependent to company effort •  Project planning to ensue continuity • > Watch site engineering too! •  Important for quality as a whole Tripartite Meeting 2010, Tokyo

  10. Capacity to Meet Contractual Commitments • If neither party foresees problems • – good practice may help • If it is a foreseen problem • – closer working relations may help • Practices are based on culture • – requires time to change Mutual trust and understanding to establish contract terms.... How frank can we discuss? Tripartite Meeting 2010, Tokyo

  11. Summary • Careful management of workmanship of workers and designers  Ensure long term continuity • Skill transfer framework - human element dependent and IT support have limits •  Building up of experience • Culture of good thinking needed for meeting rule requirements or innovative technology •  Compete well! • Get stakeholders together to cooperate •  Improve culture! and talk frankly • Respect Intellectual Property! • Keep your eye on the site Tripartite Meeting 2010, Tokyo

  12. Thank you for your attention! Dave Iwamoto, CESS Chairman Committee for Expertise of Shipbuilding Specifics Tripartite Meeting 2010, Tokyo
