EB ManagementExamines OrganizationalPerformance

Electric Boat’s managementteam has undertaken anassessment of the company’s

performance, specifically by examiningEB’s organizational strategy, design andculture.

“Our goal is to develop an under-standing of the issues the managementgroup considers most important, anddetermine whether the group as a wholeis working cohesively toward the samegoals,” said EB President John Casey.

With the installation of new automated external defibrillators(AEDs) throughout Electric Boat, employees will have a betterchance of surviving a heart attack.

According to Dr. Bob Hurley, medical director, the AEDs are part of the com-pany’s public-access defibrillation program, which also includes training volun-teers to recognize a cardiac emergency and use the device to shock the heart intoa regular rhythm. “This equipment is intended to supplement our existing emer-gency medical-response capabilities. The AEDs are available to be used immedi-ately by trained individuals when a cardiac emergency dictates,” he said.

Hurley emphasized it is still critical to summon Emergency Medical Servicesby calling ext. 33344 at Groton and ext. 22222 at Quonset Point.

Cardiac arrest occurs when abnormal heart rhythms cause the heart’s electri-cal impulses to suddenly become chaotic. When this happens, the heart stopsabruptly and the victim loses consciousness. Unless a normal heart rhythm isre-established within a few minutes, death usually results.

Defibrillation – delivering an electrical shock to the heart – is the best-knowntreatment to restore normal rhythm. For every minute defibrillation is delayed,chances of survival drop by up to 10 percent.

“We wanted to ensure that we could provide quick defibrillation,” said Hur-ley, explaining why the AEDs have been installed. “We have large employeepopulations in our facilities, and we were committed to making AEDs availableto increase an individual’s chance of surviving a heart attack. So we workedwith the American Heart Association to establish this program.”

The Heart Association estimates that public-access defibrillation programsacross the country could save as many as 40,000 lives per year.

company management is on the same pageand pulling in the same direction,” he said.“This initiative is particularly timely as wedevelop strategies to address issues relatingto the nation’s shipbuilding infrastructure.”

According to Casey, the first step in theoverall effort began in May when he and 92other company leaders completed a manage-ment survey. In June, more than 100 man-agers representing all areas within EB met toreview the results of this assessment.

“We divided the outcomes by the variouslayers of managers within our organizationto better understand the similarities and dif-ferences in our points of view,” said Casey.“We devoted a significant amount of time tointerpreting the results and discussing theimplications of the information on our com-pany’s performance.”

Several key improvement areas were iden-tified and assigned priority. These include:

P Allocation of resources

P Organizational structure

P Clarifying roles and responsibilities

P Employee development and empowerment

P Improving ability to change

The participating managers have sincebeen divided into groups to address theseissues. Each group includes at least onemember of senior management, who acts asthe team sponsor, and one manager who isdesignated the team leader.

The teams have begun identifying rootcauses to the issues identified by the surveyand are making recommendations for possi-ble short-term and long-term actions. Rec-ommended actions for improvements will becombined into a comprehensive plan, whichwill be reviewed by Casey and his staff.

“I appreciate the time and effort our man-agers are devoting to this undertaking,” Caseysaid. “And I’ll be sure to keep the entireorganization informed as we move thisprocess forward.”

Capt. Pietras takes over as supervisor of shipbuilding – GrotonAt a change of command ceremony earlier this month, Vice Adm. Paul Sullivan, center, commander ofNaval Sea Systems Command, shares a word with Capt. Christopher Pietras, right, the new supervisor ofshipbuilding in Groton. Capt. Jeff Reed, left, the outgoing supervisor, will report to NAVSEA in Washington,D.C. Reed had been assigned to Groton since August 2003.

They could have been flipping burgers at a fast-foodjoint or bagging groceries at the supermarket. Instead,21 high school seniors have been spending their sum-

mer vacation working in design and construction jobs at Elec-tric Boat.

The students, participants in the company- and union-spon-sored School-To-Career program, have been paired with men-tors in various MTC and MDA jobs throughout the shipyard,giving them a taste of what the workaday world has in storefor them after graduation.

“It seemed like a good idea to sign up, because I’m gettingexperience here,” said Grasso Tech senior Christine Gainsley.She is working as a ventilation designer under the guidance ofmentor Tom Montgomery and backup mentor Chris Williams(both of 452).

Montgomery and Williams say Gainsley has been a con-tributing member of the department since the beginning of hersix-week stay, even teaching them a thing or two about thehardware and software they use daily.

“I’m able to give her a job and she runs with it,” said Mont-gomery. “We’re lucky to have interns like her who take advan-tage of programs like this.”

MDA Financial Secretary Wayne Burgess, who introducedEB to the School-To-Career program three years ago, said it’smeant to benefit not only the students but also the companyand its bargaining units.

Welding machine repairman Chick McCombs (229), a keycoordinator of the program, said the students are given aglimpse at life in a highly technical, unionized workplace withthe hope that they’ll spread the word among their peers.

“When they go back to school, we want them to share theirexperience with their classmates, who will hopefully want to

come to Electric Boat next summer,” he said.HR Representative Brian Howard (646), administrator of the

program, said it offers the students a work experience far differentthan what most of their classmates would get with the typicalsummer job.

“They’re able to do something that not many kids their age cansay they did,” he said. “It also gives them a chance to learn aboutthe unions and where they came from, as well as giving the men-tors a chance to share their knowledge and experience.”

Passing on her skills is precisely why electronics mechanicSherri Biro (241) volunteered to be a mentor for Grasso Tech sen-ior Kneocia Henton, who is working as an outside electrician.

“I tell her about working safely and the importance of doing ajob right the first time,” said Biro. “And we talk about life a littlebit.”

Henton, who is pursuing a career as a residential electrician,said her EB experience is sure to help her achieve that goal bybroadening her skill set. “It’s totally different,” she said. “It’snothing like what we do at school.”

Her backup mentor, outside electrician Shirley King (241), saidHenton has quickly mastered any task thrown her way. “She’s fast,

Electric Boat attained a ground-breaking milestone on July 21 -the date the company completed

and issued its first totally electronic designwithout the development of a traditionalpaper drawing.

Currently, traditional constructiondrawings are the universal standard usedto communicate design information todownstream users within the shipbuildingindustry. Existing engineering, construc-tion/fabrication and installation processeshave evolved around construction draw-ings and related standards.

Eventually, instead of reading a set ofwork-package sheets, drawing pages andengineering reports, shipyard foremen andworkers eventually will easily access a com-plete electronic description of the job. Thiswill enable them to readily see the partsassemblies, and interact with them in 3-Dalong with all the information needed(parts, welding information, notes, etc.).

Last month’s breakthrough was accom-plished as part of the company’s NextGeneration IPDE Program. What wascalled the Enhanced Product Model(EPM) task was established to identifyrequirements needed to deliver designinformation to the end user without a for-mal paper drawing.

Last September, a pilot EPM programinvolving the design of a Virginia-classstructural foundation got under way. TheEPM team – comprising Bob Patel, DavePerkins and Bob St. Amour – formulated astrategy to study end-user data needs anddetermine how best to capture and deliverthe structural-foundation data electronically.

Working with representatives fromEngineering, Design, Construction,Inspection and Test, the EPM team identi-fied the design content, format andprocess required to support constructionactivities. In addition, the Joint Technol-ogy Committee worked closely with theteam to understand how roles and respon-sibilities might be affected by the elimina-tion of drawings.

“Today in shipbuilding, we face thesame problem faced by any manufacturer– getting the right information to the per-son doing the job,” said EPM team mem-ber and senior engineer Perkins. “The con-struction drawings are generally discipline-specific – structured, formatted and con-taining data that represents an entire engi-neered product or system. The problem isthat the shipbuilder typically has to spendtime researching and filtering through allof the drawing information looking forwhat he or she needs. Additionally, the

information may need to be reformattedto meet specific needs. These issues causeinefficiencies in the build process. We wantthe EPM to be like ‘one-stop shopping’for the end user’s technical-data needs.”

Most of the construction drawinginformation now resides electronically inthe product model as database informa-tion, 3-D geometry, and associated 2-Dgraphics. “Some of this information is notstored in the database in a manner that itis fully functional because it may be storedwithin a 2-D graphical entity and is ‘unin-telligent,’ ” said EPM member and engi-neering specialist Patel. “The way you cap-ture, store and configuration-manage theproduct-model data is crucial.”

“With the design completed andissued,” said EPM member and designsupervisor St. Amour, “this foundation willbe fabricated, machined, painted at Quon-set Point and crated for shipment to thecomponent vendor for demonstration.”

Although significant work remains, theEPM pilot – using a prototypical processand existing systems – is an important firststep toward the goal of significant costsavings by delivering design informationwithout the need to develop a traditionaldrawing, the team members agreed.

Much of the currentunderstanding of the cause-and-effectrelationships were gleaned from a townnot too far from our own – Framing-ham, Mass.

The Framingham Heart Study, nowcelebrating its 57th year, was the firstfederal epidemiological study that linkedhypertension and elevated cholesterollevels with cardiovascular disease. Whenthe study began in 1948, little wasknown about the general causes of heartdisease, the nation's number one killer ofboth men and women. From its humblebeginnings, with volunteer researchersknocking on the doors of local residents,the study has revolutionized preventivemedicine.

The major accomplishments of thestudy are the identification and confir-mation of: hypertension, diabetes, smok-ing, obesity, a sedentary lifestyle andhigh cholesterol. Even the term “risk fac-tor" was generated by the study. Todaythe study has recruited its third genera-tion of participants and is looking atgenetic factors that might promote obe-sity, high cholesterol, hypertension andasthma.

Health Improvement Tips

1. MoveMake it a daily challenge to find ways tomove your body. Climb stairs if given achoice between that and escalators or ele-vators. Walk your dog; chase your kids;toss balls with friends; mow the lawn.Anything that moves your limbs is notonly a fitness tool, it's a stress buster.Think “move” in small increments of time.It doesn't have to be an hour in the gym ora 45-minute aerobic dance class or kick-boxing.

2. Decrease Fat in Your DietAvoid the obvious such as fried foods,burgers and other fatty meats (i.e. pork,bacon, ham, salami, ribs and sausage).Dairy products such as cheese, cottagecheese, milk and cream should be eaten inlow-fat versions. Nuts and sandwich meats,mayonnaise, margarine, butter and saucesshould be eaten in limited amounts. Mostare available in lower-fat versions such assubstitute butter, and fat-free cheeses andmayonnaise.

3. Quit SmokingThe jury is definitely in on this verdict.Since 1960, when the Surgeon Generalannounced that smoking was harmful toyour health, Americans have been reduc-ing their use of tobacco products that kill.Sadly, we've seen a surge in smoking inadolescents and teens. It seems the stars inevery movie of late smoke cigarettes.Beware. Warn your children of the falseromance ofwood smokers.

4. Wear Your Seat BeltStatistics show that seat belts add tolongevity and help alleviate potentialinjuries in car crashes.

5. Choose Your Parents WellThe link between genetics and health is apowerful one. But just because one or bothof your parents died young in ill healthdoesn't mean you cannot counteract thegenetic pool handed you.

she’s eager to learn, and she works like she’s been doing it for a long time.”MDA President John Worobey and MTC President Ken DelaCruz said in addition

to the work experience, the School-To-Career program provides students with a lessonon organized labor in the United States, including a field trip to the Labor HistoryMuseum in Willimantic.

“They don’t teach a lot about unions in the schools, so this was a good chance forstudents to learn about them,” Worobey said.

“Designing and building nuclear submarines requires a highly skilled workforce,”said DelaCruz. “The union mentors are sharing their trade experience with the younginterns, who, after graduating high school, have the potential of being future ship-builders. It’s a great program.”

What was an empty building a few short months ago is nownearing completion as Quonset Point’s new Light MetalFabrication Shop.

The sheet tower storage system installation is complete and training foremployees who will be using the system is also finished. Known as the TCCell, it is the largest in the United States – capable of holding 350 palletsof material. In fact, production material is being loaded into the system.Phase 1 training for the 6000L Laser Punch (shown in photo) is completeand employees are now using it to gain experience before it’s ready forproduction work.

Although the storage system and the laser punch are not quite ready forproduction purposes, two machines in the new area are already preparingmaterial for submarines. The two press brakes and the relocated sheetmetal shear are being used for production.

“We are progressing nicely,” says Jim Cunningham (902), who has beenoverseeing the project. “We’ve taken this from concept stages to a state-of-the-art sheet metal fabrication shop in a short time. When we become fullyoperational sometime in the fall, this shop will be one of the most modernand efficient of its kind in the country.”

Carpenter apprentice Tyler King (252) hangs a scaffolding tag on staging in Building 260. The Scafftagsystem, used on a limited basis for the past three months, will be implemented throughout the Grotonshipyard and on EB overhaul and repair projects at the Groton submarine base beginning Sept. 6.

Anew scaffolding inspectionand tagging system has provenso successful during a three-

month pilot program that it will be imple-mented throughout the Groton shipyardand on EB overhaul and repair projects atthe Groton submarine base beginningSept. 6.

The Scafftag system, as it’s called, wasintroduced to the shipyard by the carpen-ter trades, who then did most of the leg-work to get the pilot program going andwho will be responsible for the dailyinspection and tagging of all staging.

“During the two trial phases, the sever-ity and quantity of scaffold deficiencieswere reduced tremendously, resulting inimproved safety for all scaffold usersthroughout the shipyard,” said carpenterTrade Training Instructor Don Kniss(252), who helped lead the Scafftag trial.“The implementation of this programwas a joint effort led by members of theMTC Safety Committee, carpentersunion Local 1302, the Safety Departmentand Operations management.”

The carpenters got the idea for the pro-gram after seeing a similar system in placeat the Groton submarine base.

“When we looked into it, we realized itwould be a quick, easy way to reducescaffolding safety discrepancies on a dailybasis versus letting them accumulate,”explained carpenter General ForemanBob Beaudry (252). “And of course, themost important thing is to prevent safetyissues before they arise.”

The Scafftag system works by lettingemployees know before they enter scaffold-ing whether it is safe to use. During dailyinspections, members of a trained anddedicated team of carpenters will evaluateall staging that meets minimum size orheight requirements. The inspectors will

then initial and hang at the scaffoldingentryways either a green tag – for“Released for Access” – or a red one – for“Danger, Do Not Enter.” Red tags willalso be used when scaffolding is beingassembled so no one enters prematurely.

“It’s going to keep our scaffoldinginspection process up to date and helpimprove the quality of our scaffold prod-uct,” Kniss said.

When scaffolding discrepancies are dis-covered, they will be immediately reportedto the carpenters for action, as well as beingrecorded in a log for tracking purposes.

Carpenter Mike Malone (252), presidentof the union Local 1302, praised Knissand the Safety Department for their effortsto get the Scafftag system off the ground.

“The program’s success is an example

of how management, the carpentersunion and the Safety Department worktogether to improve safety at ElectricBoat,” he said. “This is a step in the rightdirection as far as I’m concerned.”

Ken O’Brien (645), a member of theEB Safety Department who helped bringthe Scafftag program to EB, said it hashelped to strengthen the carpenters’ scaf-folding expertise, enhancing the safety ofall employees as a result.

“It’s a good program, and I think it’llget even better as we go along,” he said.

A key to the success of the Scafftagprogram, Beaudry and Kniss said, is thatit has been embraced by all tradespeopleand supervisors, not just the carpenters.

“It has been a catalyst for everybody tolook at the staging,” said Kniss.
