KEY CONCERNS OVER YARD...
■ There is a disconnect between the level of productivity required to meet targets and the productivity the yard delivers.
■ There is significant programme slippage and high-level progress milestones have been missed.
■ Many work packages pursued in January were either over-resourced or suffered from a lack of equipment or consumables.
■ Efficiency remains low due to what CMAL considers to be an ineffective communication strategy.
■ Despite efforts to work smarter, programme start and completion dates continue to be missed.
■ CMAL considers management of project dependencies, weaknesses in the planning of the build and poor supervision to be key issues.
■ Risk and change management planning remains inconsistent with normal commercial shipbuilding practice.
