Philadelphia Naval Shipyard's application of zone logic to ship overhaul is neither small nor isolated. PNSY started its implementation of zone logic in the late fall of 1986, targeting the Service Life Extension Program (SLEP) for USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63) as the initial application. The technical services of Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. (IHI), Japan were contracted to assist in this transition. This implementation on the Kitty Hawk is not a trial effort but involves about one third of the production man-days and covers over one half of the compartments on the ship. The actual SLEP production work on Kitty Hawk began in January 1988. Even though it is early in the three-year SLEP, zone logic already is proving its worth. This paper explains the zone logic methods and methodology applied at PNSY on Kitty Hawk. It also discusses the future of zone logic at PNSY and its continued application.
