The fundamental philosophies of Group Technology or Zone Logic Technology are accepted practices in Japanese Shipyards. The ideologies, originally conceived in the U.S. ironically, were considerably refined by the Japanese Shipbuilding and Repair Industry and since 1978, have been reimported to the U.S. The traditional system-by-system approach to work has been replaced by a zone oriented product work breakdown structure, Zone Logic Technology. This grouping of jobs if executed properl, has the potential to significant y enhance efficiency and productivity.
