Marinette Marine Corporation Internal Supply Chain Project.

ADA477904

Publication Date	2008
Page Count	25
Abstract	The objective of this CNST project has been to define and lay the groundwork for improved supply chain management system through the implementation of new business and material management systems that will be effective within Manitowoc Marine Group's (MMG's) specific business and product environment. MMG's environment is challenging because it includes multiple yards and major subcontractors simultaneously doing new construction and repair work for commercial, Navy, and Coast Guard customers. This report describes the Phase I requirements definition phase, and the Phase II pilot testing phases. The goal of this project was to understand the needs of the business and evaluate what industry solution would best fit those needs. The main objective is to reduce waste within the existing internal supply chain, reduce costs and provide better data for management. By achieving these objectives, MMG can thereby reduce costs to government customers on projects such as like the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) program for the U.S. Navy.
