Shipyard Construction Underway

BIW

Process Improvements• B-Bay at Hardings. We are working towards an August light-offof this new process line designed to allow structural assem-blies to move down an assembly line process to skilledmechanics and dedicated equipment. Engineering andPlanning have reengineered their supporting processes.

• Panel Line. A cross-functional team working with mechanicsand supervision identified 160-plus items for improvement, 45of which were completed in the first week. Major changes,including those associated with the fit and weld process, ledto 80% improvement in the accuracy of the first panel builtafter the early changes.

• Production Control. This area is being defined and strength-ened to better support and control manufacturing, allowingarea and trade management to focus on work execution andspend less time managing supply chain and material.

• Production Information. A project is underway to improvework order packages, making them easier to understand anduse by all.

Organizational Changes• Organizational Structure. We have centralized the trade orga-nizational structure to train employees, improve process, pro-vide technical oversight and focus on value streams. A matrixmanagement environment was established where trade lead-ership, which is responsible for the “who and the how,” and thearea leadership, which is responsible for the “what and thewhen,” work together to accomplish objectives.

• Front Line Supervisor Perspective. Various projects are under-way to support the Front Line Supervisor as a deck plateleader by clarifying expectations and removing non-valueadded tasks.

Design/Planning • Structural. We now cut all small holes in the CNC burningmachines at the time the plate is cut versus allowing smalldimensional cuts during Assembly which improves qualityand overall process time. We are also including weld footagein planning documents to create more efficient work assign-

It’s been nine months since I’ve been on the job at BIW and I’dlike to comment on how we’re doing. As you know, we are scrutinizing many aspects of how we build ships to become moreproductive and ultimately more affordable. Nothing has a biggerimpact on that than our efforts to make ourselves safer, which iswhy I mention that first. Here’s some of what we are doing acrossthe company.

Safety• Safe Worker Program. If you injure yourself repeatedly at home,you’d expect your doctor to look for an underlying cause. Byworking with employees with multiple injuries a year, we arelooking for root causes to determine how we can better ensurethat everyone is safe in their environment.

• Safe Supervisor Training. This segment of supervisor trainingcovers recognition and mitigation of hazardous conditions andprovides tools and insight to help supervisors and employeesdeal with safety situations and move towards a culture of safe-ty.

• Zero Tolerance Program. We implemented this policy to ensurecorrect, consistent use of PPE across the shipyard.

• Leading Indicators. This reporting has been enhanced to gatherbetter, more consistent and more frequent information and hasallowed us to identify additional contributing factors.

• Safety Communication Packages. Manufacturing now receivesa monthly package of training materials with a new topic forsupervisors and mechanics to review every work day.Distribution is company-wide because safety is everyone’s concern.

• Safety Committees. These people work hard to improve oursafety culture. Restructured committees are focusing on injuryreduction, the best indicator of whether we are working safer.

Facility Improvements• Appearance. The shipyard is cleaner and better organized. Everyarea in the shipyard is assigned to someone with direct respon-sibility for cleanliness and organization.

• Construction. Major facility improvements are underway,including a new Outfitting Hall to the south of the existing UltraHall which will maximize outfitting by improving operating effi-ciency and throughput of upstream processes that feed thiscritical path facility. We are also:− Constructing Blast/Paint #4 to accommodate three-deck highunits with dehumidification and a uniformly reinforced floor;

− Upgrading Blast/Paint #3 with dehumidification which signifi-cantly improves working conditions for blasters as well asfirst time quality;

− Converting Paint 1 to dedicated paint storage; building acombined Boiler/Compressor building; and updating SouthReceiving to store construction support material.

On the cover: The new foundation in the area where the South Hyde building previously stood is the site of the new boiler building.

ments by better accounting for thevariance in weld lengths per job.

• Electrical. We now model cablewaysdown to single cable stud runs toensure accurate calculations forrequired cable and control variance ininstallations.

• Pipe. We now model all piping as wellas pipe hangars, eliminating mechanicpreference at the low range andremoving variability from the process.

Training• Facility. We opened a new EmployeeTrades Learning Center in the northyard which is being well used and gen-erating positive feedback from ournewest employees.

• Curriculum. We have overhauled ourtraining curriculum so all new hiresreceive between two and six weeks oftraining, including safety, prior to hit-ting the deckplates. We have also initi-ated a retraining process for recenthires who did not receive trainingwhen they arrived. We plan to dorefresher training for even our mostexperienced mechanics to ensure bestpractices are universally shared.

Benchmarking• Learning. We have undertaken aprocess of benchmarking other ship-builders and companies to help usevaluate and improve our performanceand processes. To date we have visitedElectric Boat and NASSCO, as well asother General Dynamics companies,and we hosted representatives from

Daewoo Shipbuilding & MarineEngineering of Korea at BIW for aweek. We have already learned muchand will continue – I want to make surethat we take the opportunity to learnwhat industry leaders are doing andthen carefully decide what can beapplied here at BIW.

These items are at the current top of theheap in terms of positively impactinghow we work and our costs, but the pileof additional ideas and suggestionsbelow them is very deep, and that iswhat I find most encouraging.

This brings me toTim Glinatsis whorecently joined BIWas Director of Con -tinuous Im prove -ment. He is anengineer with astrong backgroundin engineering andoperations manage-ment as well as cost reduction and hehas already begun to work with organi-zations across the shipyard to ensure acoordinated program for drivingimprovements in quality, reducing costsand improving cycle times. Your sugges-tions are at the root of what Tim andmany others are working on; please con-tinue to speak up and offer your goodideas.

In September, BIW will conduct a con-test seeking designs for a new BIWemblem to help convey the messagethat BIW is a forward-looking, technolo-gy-driven company which is changingrapidly to meet the needs of our cus-tomers.

The existing, text-only General DynamicsBath Iron Works logo shown here:

will not change and will remain the onlylogo to be used for all BIW formal corre-spondence, communications and sig-nage.

The traditional BIW flag has served uswell over the years but by itself, cannoteffectively convey our image as anaggressive, dynamic, energetic compa-ny ready for the future.

A new emblem should represent BIW asmoving ahead, honoring our history butreflecting what we are today. The flag

Coming Soon—BIW Emblem Contestcould be part of the new emblem or not– it’s up to you.

The emblem will be used for items suchas lapel pins, coffee mugs, items sold inthe employee store, in BIW News andmore.

The contest will be open to all BIWemployees (but not family members),excluding only directors or above, thosewho will serve as jurors (more on thatbelow) or those in theCommunications/Strategic Planningarea which will coordinate the contest.Multiple entries may be submitted.

Entries will be reviewed by a jury ofabout six people from within BIW andseveral others from the community. Thejury will select a winner and if morethan one entry hits the mark, the presi-dent will weigh in on the final decision.Graphics and text are permitted, but itmust be simple enough to be repro-duced small (as little as ½” diameter fora lapel pin, for example). BIW reserves

The new emblem will replace the BIW flag, but the flag can be part of

a new design.

On July 10, 2014, the DDG 1000 portAdvanced Induction Propulsion

Motor which will drive the port propul-sion shaft was activated. This is the firstof two motors provided by GeneralElectric. The DDG 1000 propulsion plantis very different than that of a DDG 51;most notably, the DDG 1000 propulsion

prime mover is electric and the DDG 51is gas turbine. This is the first time that apropulsion motor of this type has beenoperated on a US Navy warship.

Activation and operation of this systemrequires a significant amount of electri-cal power and supporting systems and

the level of ship completion must besufficiently advanced to allow safe oper-ation. This milestone is a major accom-plishment for the entire team andreflects years of work by many organiza-tions throughout BIW, General Electricand the Navy.

Foaming the DomeThe sonar domes for the BIW-built

Arleigh Burke Class destroyersthrough DDG 112 were manufacturedby Mil-Davie in Quebec, Canada. Thecompany closed after delivering the lastof 34 domes built for Bath DDG 51 classships.

With the award of DDG 115, however,the sonar dome became the subject ofa BIW Make/Buy analysis to determinethe best course forward. It was decidedthat the sonar domes would be fabri-cated at BIW in accordance with Navyspecifications.

The fabrication process includes fillingfive inaccessible voids with over 800cubic feet of foam insulation for sounddampening as well as corrosion control.

Changing the Face of the Shipyard

Previously part of Mil-Davie's workscope, the foaming requirement alsomigrated to Bath.

Led by Dale Clay (D24) in Procurement,various subcontractors were evaluatedand Kenway Corp. of Augusta, Mainewas selected to provide equipment,material and technical support.

Kenway participated in the planningefforts and was at BIW in June, firstdemonstrating the procedure to BIW

mechanics and then overseeing theapplication on DDG 115 in the environ-mentally controlled Paint Building withrequired heat, light, ventilation, respira-tors and protective clothing.

Those involved included Bob Boilard(D25), who stepped in for John Chase(D10) for the actual installation. GlenCapen, Bill Downing, Wayne Nichols,Bill Pelletier and Tim Sullivan (allD25) were trained and participated inthe DDG 115 process.

Dave Wetherbee (D40), Hull OutfitEngineer, said, “It was a good effort sup-ported by a lot of advance preparationby our planning team which includedproduction, design, procurement, plan-ning, EHS, engineering and the vendor.Looking ahead to the DDG 116 sonardome sometime next year, we willreview our procedure in light of lessonslearned and look for opportunities toimprove process times as well. ”

The first promotion ceremonyonboard DDG 1000 on July 7, 2014

recognized the advancement of LTJesse Packard, a native of Union,Maine. Then LTJG Packard arrived inBath in September 2013 with DDG1000’s pre-commissioning crew and hassplit his time between specialized train-ing and activities designed to bring thecrew to a high state of capability andreadiness to take their ship to sea.

LT Packard is a University of Mainegraduate who joined the Navy afterfinding his post-college jobs lacking insome hard-to-define qualities that hefeels he may have found in a Navycareer. His father, Bill Packard, a retiredNavy Seabee, and his mother, Kathleen,were present for the brief ceremonyattended by many DDG 1000 crewmembers and led by Captain JamesKirk who called Attention to the Oathof Office.

Captain Kirk noted that the weatherhad complied with this native son’srequest. “It could have been snowing,

right? Give it another 24 hours andmaybe it will. I mean, it could have beensnowing, right?”

LT Packard thanked his crew membersfor interrupting their schedules to joinhim onboard, saying, “I couldn’t imaginethis ceremony happening anywhere buthere.”

He also had some words for the menand women of BIW, “I want to say thankyou to all of you folks at BIW for every-thing you do every day. It was an honortoday to be promoted onboard DDG1000, Hull 601, soon to be the best shipin the fleet thanks to the efforts ofeveryone here at BIW. What you doevery day makes a difference, thankyou.”

USS GettysburgIn July 2014, the crew of the Bath-builtUSS Gettysburg (CG 64) received the2013 Battenberg Cup in a ceremony onthe ship’s flight deck in its homeport ofMayport, Florida. The Cup is awardedannually to the winner of the AtlanticFleet Battle Efficiency Award, either shipor submarine, with the greatest numberof crew achievements. Per the US Navy,CG 64 is only the fifth CG to win theBattenberg Cup.

USS Gettysburg recently returned from anine-month deployment with the HarryS. Truman Carrier Strike Group to the6th and 5th Fleet areas of responsibility.The ship enters a prolonged mainte-nance period in Mayport.

CG 64, the fifth of seven Ticonderoga CG47 Class cruisers built in Bath, waslaunched in 1989 and commissioned in

1991. BIW laid the keel for Gettysburg in1988, four months ahead of the keel lay-ing for Arleigh Burke (DDG 51), the leadship in the Burke class of destroyers

which, together with the 22-shipTiconderoga class, formed the Navy’sAEGIS capability.

Following BIW’s nomination,Comsaco, a small business contrac-

tor and a BIW vendor for electricalpower distribution and control equip-ment for DDG 51 and DDG 1000 classships, received the 2013 Small BusinessAdministrator (SBA) award for SmallBusiness Subcontractor of the Year inRegion III Mid Atlantic. Comsaco, locat-ed in Hampton Roads, Virginia, is a fam-ily and veteran owned and operatedmanufacturer serving the Navy ship-building and repair industry.

Each year, BIW selects one supplierfrom a field of 1,200 small businessesas its Small Business of the Year. Thiseffort is led by Joey Therriault (D24),Small Business Liaison Officer, andMike Bolton (D24), ProcurementBusiness Controls. BIW then turnsaround and nominates that supplier toits regional SBA. There are a total of 10 SBA regions within the UnitedStates.

Of note, BIW’s previous nominee,Howell Laboratories, Inc., of Bridgton,Maine, received the 2012 Region I NewEngland SBA award.

Comasco employs 29 people, 17% ofwhom are veterans and most of thoseare US Navy veterans. The companyrelocated from Long Island to Virginiaseveral years ago, in part due to theavailability of skilled employees withprior military service careers and anunderstanding of the need for a highlevel of quality and reliability in theproducts manufactured by Comasco.

Comsaco was nominated as BIW’sSmall Business of the Year by BrianLondon (D24), purchasing representa-

tive. He represented BIW’s PurchasingDepartment and Small BusinessProgram at the formal ceremony atComsaco’s facility in Hampton Roadswhen SBA presented the award.

In BIW’s nomination, Brian stated, “Oneof Comsaco’s strengths is their under-standing of their customers’ needs…” asexhibited by their practice of designingin commonly available subcomponents,reducing maintenance and obsoles-cence.

He said, “For decades, BIW’s relationshipwith Comsaco has been one of partner-

ship. Not only are they willing to adaptand change to meet our goals, they fre-quently surprise us with new innova-tions….” He noted the example of aComsaco project undertaken to stan-dardize the wiring pattern for a termbox across all major shipyards, reducinginstallation times and improving safetyof their product in the fleet.

Also of note, per Brian, “Comsaco strivesto provide its customers with solutionsat the lowest possible cost and they usetheir knowledge of the shipboard envi-ronment to take all factors into consid-eration when solving a problem.”

In the aftermath of 9/11, three Freeportwomen began standing on a MainStreet sidewalk in Freeport with anAmerican flag. What began as a commemoration of the lives of thosewho died and the heroes of 9/11 soonexpanded to supporting U.S. troopsfighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. TheFlag Ladies are Elaine Greene, JoAnnMiller and Carmen Footer and theyhave become widely known for theirsimple, straightforward act of patriotismand their commitment to being thereonce a week, every Tuesday morningfrom 8-9 am, in every kind of weather.

They frequently travel to Bangor andNew Hampshire to greet departing orreturning troops and maintain an activeweb site (www.freeportflagladies.com)with photos of the troops they havemet which are available to the soldiersand their families.

In 13 years and counting, the only inter-ruption to their Tuesday morning ritualwas Carmen’s hospitalization for openheart surgery earlier this year. Herabsence and recovery were noted bylocal media and others stepped in to fillher place during the time that she wasaway.

Terry Fournier (D81), a 32-year veteranand Material Clerk at EBMF, met the FlagLadies earlier this year through a mutu-al friend. They expressed an interest inseeing BIW and Terry arranged for themto visit the shipyard on a Sunday after-noon in July.

Terry organized van transportation andthey drove by a number of shipyardbuildings and peered inside the AB andPanel Line. They stepped inside the PO2areas and were amazed by the UltraHall and the size of the units being builtindoors. Then they drove by the shipson the ways and DDG 1000 in the waterand were in awe of the ships them-selves. Terry said, “They thought that allof Congress should travel to Maine tosee what we do here.”

Terry also drove them by EBMF and tothe Hardings security gate to meetCorporal Harland Stanley a U.S.Marine Corps veteran from the first GulfWar. Stanley was impressed with theirinterest in all veterans and said, “they’regood people.”

While Carmen, Elaine and JoAnn werespeaking with Stanley, another BIWemployee clocked out and recognizedthe ladies by their distinctive clothing.He related that he had recently traveledto San Diego where his son was deploy-ing to pick up his granddaughter anddaughter-in-law. While there, he wasasked about the Flag Ladies by some-one who had heard about them fromnational media.

This recognition from so far awaydelighted the Flag Ladies—not forthemselves but for their ongoing effortsto ensure that American servicemenand women receive the recognition andthanks that they deserve.
