SHIP & BOATBUILDING TECHNOLOGY pumps. Process Lessons Learned Further improvements in cycle time could have been achieved if the team's request for a full time structural engineer had been provided by the Steering Committee. This highlights the need for good communications. Listen to the team. With four design reviews scheduled during the MSD design, the reduction of preparation, presentation and rework time in comparison to the SSD#1 approach to design reviews is signif- icant. The 11 week reduction in cycle time can largely be attributed to the In-Process Design Review approach and the existence of an improved design process. Metrics Lessons Learned During the MSD design, product and process metrics were applied more by the team. Product wise, the team developed a few more techniques for in-process monitoring and review. As more concrete product metric data was collected and applied to the design, the more receptive the Steering Committee became to the metric concept. As for process metrics, the team was still struggling somewhat with wrnfpsi AUTHORIZED PARTS AND SERVICE FOR PROPULSION SYSTEMS, INC. & PSI/LIAAEN CONTROLLABLE PITCH PROPELLER SYSTEMS AND THRUSTERS »»»>LIAAEN PARTS & SERVICE<<<<<<< 'PROPELLER SYSTEMS DESIGN, MANUFACTURE & REPAIR* "PNEUMATIC & HYDRAULIC CONTROLS, PARTS SUPPLY, SERVICE, TEST & REPAIR* »>WORLD WIDE SERVICE - 24 HOURS A DAY «< 609 NW 45TH.-SEATTLE, WA.-U.S.A.-98107 PH.

Other resources/expertise utilized on a part- time or rotating basis included: A&T/Vector Research (management consulting); Alfa Laval (fuel treatment); Allweiler (pumps); Boll & Kirch (filters and strainers); Crowley Marine (ship operator); D&P (electrical and structural engineering); Maersk Lines (ship operator); and Tranter (heat exchangers). The Strategic Design Method (SDM) was uti- lized to define the two outputs of the project: the Team Process and the Engine Room Arrangement Models. The Team Process would evolve during the four engine room designs and be documented at the conclusion of the project as the USER's GUIDE.
