Increase Efficiency

Outfit planning provides a means to increase productivity and schedule enhancements through zone outfitting, group technology, and prefabrication. Puget Sound Naval Shipyard has gained an understanding of outfit planning through publications by the Maritime Administration's National Shipbuilding Research Program. In an attempt to increase efficiency, Puget Sound Naval Shipyard is using outfit planning methods to overhaul, alter, and repair U.S. naval ships. One project targeted for outfit planning is the forward-end electronic package on submarines. This paper describes Puget Sound's efforts to use outfit planning concepts in developing work packages for the forward end ship alterations.

The Relationship

Abstract Cognitive Gadgets offers a new, convincing perspective on the origins of our distinctive cognitive faculties, coupled with a clear, innovative research program. Although we broadly endorse Heyes’ ideas, we raise some concerns about her characterisation of evolutionary psychology and the relationship between biology and culture, before discussing the potential fruits of examining cognitive gadgets through the lens of active inference.
