The shipbuilding industry of the United States and Canada in a cooperative effort towards the common goal of lowering ship production costs and improving its competitive position in the world market, recently formed the Ship Production Committee within the Technical and Research Program of The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers. Through this committee and its working panels and task groups, production personnel from most major United States and Canadian shipyards are meeting to discuss technical problems and implement research towards their solution. Specific groups under the Committee's direction are addressing materials handling, production techniques, manpower, cost reporting, shipyard organization, standards and specifications, welding, and computer aids.
