National Shipbuilding Research Program, Proceedings of the REAPS Technical Symposium Paper No. 13: Automation and Productivity in Discrete Part Manufacturing.

摘要

The subject of this conference is automation and productivity in shipbuilding. I am going to talk about automation and productivity in the general context of discrete part batch manufacturing, which includes shipbuilding, to try to provide a wider prospective on the technical strategies that are being used in applying automation in manufacturing, their impact on productivity enhancement, and the wider economic implications of enhancing productivity.
