The primary objective of the shipbuilding research library, commonly known as the National Shipbuilding Research and Documentation Center (NSRDC), located at the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI), is to support the U.S. shipbuilding, ship repair, and related industries in becoming and remaining competitive in the world market by: maintaining a repository of information on advanced ship production technologies and methods providing ready access to this information and technology actively promoting and facilitating innovation in shipbuilding and repair through the identification, development, application, and communication of new technologies and methods In meeting these tasks, the Documentation Center receives and processes hundreds of requests annually for shipbuilding-related research documents and educational audiovisual material. Requests come from both domestic ancl foreign shipbuilders and related companies, organizations, and individuals. Numerous inquiries for research information are handled each year over the phone and by e-mail. Appendix B is a list of the groups and individuals that have requested Documentation Center materials during this contract period. Because of its past and present support of the shipbuilding and repair industries, the Documentation Center is viewed by many domestic shipbuilders as being a vital element of the U.S. shipbuilding infrastructure. Also, at least one foreign shipbuilder has credited the NSRDC as playing a key role in its country's successful efforts to become competitive in the world shipbuilding market. The NSRDC was created in the mid-1980s to house research reports, technical papers, symposia proceedings, and audiovisual materials related to shipbuilding technology and methodology. In 1989, The University of Michigan contracted with Carderock Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center (Contract #N00167-89- 0065) to fund the library under the auspices of the National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP). In support of the NSRP, the Documentation Center has, in addition to operating the libraries, been responsible for developing and managing the technical program of the annual NSRP Ship Production Symposia since 1987 (except for 1989 and 1996), providing editorial support to the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (SNAME) for the Journal of Ship Production, and writing, desktop publishing, and distributing a newsletter on NSRP research and activities. National Shipbuilding Research and Documentation Center Page 2

Outside of the scope of Documentation Center contracts, NSRDC staff members have also developed and taught several NSRP short courses and workshops on subjects including accuracy control, standards and metrification, ship design for production, and quality function deployment/concunent product development. Because of their combined knowledge of shipbuilding processes, methods, facilities, and related technologies, NSRDC staff members have also been employed in research and analysis of naval and commercial ship-acquisition- and-construction programs. NSRDC staff members have provided technical support for two phases of the mid-term sealift ship research program, in which a simulated shipyard was defined and used as a point of reference for NAVSEA and the participating domestic private yards regarding production engineering, construction schedules, and the effects of process and technology improvement. 11. WORK ACCOMPLISHED Following is a detailed statement of work for each task identified as part of the overall NSRDC scope of work. 1. Technology Transfer. UMTRI-MSD has staffed, managed, and operated a program of technology transfer for the benefit of the shipbuilding and ship repair community, and promoted the understanding and acceptance of productivity-enhancing technologies and methods throughout the industry. This activity included the identification and acquisition of information relevant to the shipbuilding and repair industries. Sources of this information included, but were not limited to, ARPA MARITECH, NSRP, SNAME, NAVSEA, Navy Mantech research programs and Centers of Excellence, NIST, MarAd, and foreign shipbuilders and research organizations. This was done through literature searches and through attendance of Documentation Center personnel, within the given budget limitations, at selected symposia, seminars, education and training programs, NSRP Panel meetings, and MARITECH program activities that were considered relevant to industry competitiveness. All important shipbuilding-related information obtained was made available to the shipbuilding community through the Documentation Center's libraries and newsletter. A list of all travel associated with the transfer of technology during this contract period is located in appendix A. 2. Publications Library. UMTRI-MSD is the central repository for all research publications of interest to the U.S. shipbuilding and repair industries, including research reports that have been acquired through the technology- transfer task described above. UMTRI-MSD has responded to industry requests for paper and microfiche copies of these publications. At the present time there are over 450 documents in the library, several of which are symposia proceedings that contain hundreds of technical papers. Surplus copies of National Shipbuilding Research and Documentation Center Page 3 documents have been distributed upon request free of charge to shipyards and others in the marine industry; documents requiring duplication from masters have been distributed upon request for nominal duplication and shipping charges. To make the Publications Library information more accessible and up-to-date for users in the shipbuilding industry, the library's index was put into an electronic database for distribution on floppy disk. Complete bibliographic information for all publications was entered into a database. Each distributed disk copy included a software engine that allowed users to easily the database without having to purchase their own software. Title, author, publication date, keywords, document ordering number, and a complete abstract was entered for each document, and all fields are searchable. Copies of the database were made available on floppy disk for computers running Windows@ and Macintosh@operating systems. 3. Audio Visual Library. UMTRI-MSD is the central repository for all Audio Visual Material Available for Shipyard Training (AVMAST) on topics that are pertinent in today's ship design and production market, including audiovisual material that has been acquired through the technology-transfer task d.escribed above. At the present time there are over 600 audiovisual modules in the library covering all aspects of ship production, from accuracy control to zone outfitting. The videotapes are loaned to shipyards and others in the marine industry at a nominal charge covering handling and mailing. To make the AVMAST Library information more accessible and up-to-date for users in the shipbuilding industry, the library's index was put into an electronic database for distribution on floppy disk. Complete bibliographic information for all audiovisual materials was entered into a database:. Each distributed disk copy included a software engine that allowed users to easily search the database without having to purchase their own software. Title, author, publication date, keywords, module ordering number, and a complete abstract was entered for each module, and all fields were searchable. Copies of the database were made available on floppy disk for computers running Windows@ and Macintosh@operating systems. The costs associated with the initial creation of the electronic indexes for both the Publications library and the audio-visual library was a one-time-only cost resulting in considerable ongoing cost savings over annual hard-copy index publication and distribution. Previous costs associated with publication and distribution of 2,000 hard-copy indexes have been approximately $30,000 annually, while the costs of copying and distributing 2,000 electronic indexes on floppy disk was only about $5,500.

4. NSRP Newsletter. NSRDC staff members continue to produce and distribute the quarterly NSW Newsletter. This newsletter is in paper form and has been distributed by mail to nearly 5,000 people associated with the NSW, either through participation in research panels or symposia, or through ordering documents and audiovisual material from the libraries. Each newsletter contained a calendar of upcoming industry-related meetings, symposia, and events, abstracts of recently-released NSRP research reports, listings of new additions to the Publications and Audiovisual Libraries, and featured articles on specific NSRP research projects, research panel activities, and other events of interest to the shipbuilding industry. The newsletters produced under this contract can be found in appendix C. 111. CONTRACT MANAGEMENT 1 Quarterly Progress Reports. UMTRI-MSD has submitted quarterly progress reports to ARPA with appropriate background information as was required. The sponsor was given updates of the progress achieved and problems encountered or anticipated, and how they impacted NSRDC in meeting the identified objectives and accomplishing the identified tasks. 2. Industry Briefing on NSRDC Activities. This briefing was given to the NSRP Executive Control Board members and other important industry and governmental representatives chosen by ARPA in May 1996. The briefing was held for the purpose of identifying for industry all NSRDC activities performed during the past year and soliciting input from industry representatives on NSRDC ongoing and future activities. As a result of this briefing the National Shipbuilding Research Documentation Center (NSRDC) Report of Technology Projects by NSTC Suwey Topic1 was produced.
