Abstract:

Under the auspices of the Defense Logistics Agency DLA Maritime Cast Shop MCS Integrated Improvement Plan, this project provided substantial improvements to two foundries that provide significant Department of Defense maritime products. The Willcor Industrial Base Innovation Fund IBIF proposal was a result of observations made while assisting General Dynamics Electric Boat to improve their supply chain which included critical casting suppliers. Shipbuilders periodically experience construction schedule delays with resultant cost increases from castings issues. Casting issues in shipbuilding include the late delivery of components as well as the late discovery of latent quality issues. Costs of shipyard delays are typically vastly out of proportion with the actual cost of the casting itself.
