Contract Work Breakdown Structure (CWBS) for the Patrol Hydrofoil Missile (PHM) Ship Acquisition Program: An Evaluation.

摘要

The purpose of the study project was to make an evaluation of the applicability of SWBS or the CWBS to the PHM production program. The study project is organized to give an overview of the PHM program, an explanation of the SWBS system, an explanation of the PHM CWBS, a comparison between SWBS and CWBS for the PHM program, and then a conclusion and recommendation section. The results of the study showed that SWBS would not be a good system to use on the PHM production program because of the modular method of construction used vice the standard method of building ships. A recommendation is made that a careful examination of future shipbuilding programs be made to determine whether SWBS is the proper system to use or some other WBS system more compatible with modern shipbuilding techniques.
