United States commercial shipbuilding productivity: an international view
90Dec_Cummiskey.pdf (4.468Mb)Abstract
This thesis examines American shipyard productivity. An attempt
is made to measure changes in U.S. shipbuilding productivity to ascertain if U.S. yards are improving their position
relative to their competitors. An international comparison of wages, material and overhead prices and cost structures are used
to assess America's current competitive position. This study also provides a qualitative survey of lesser known shipbuilding
nations about which little quantitative data has been published. A discussion of obstacles, such as government policy deficiencies
and business practices, which continue to inhibit commercial shipbuilding productivity in the United States is also
included. Recommendations are also provided.
