World Quality Center for Naval Ships in Ukraine:
“… one can see that a process of pathological conditions in the shipbuilding industry has been activated. It introduced a discomfort into the balance of interests between the industry upper management representatives and the Customer. It also led to the effect of violation time line discipline and formation of a strong foundation for formation of deficiencies to obtain additional funding on the regular basis.
Pathological changes on the genetic basis since Liberty ships have been initiatively organized by the shipbuilding industry upper management. Building of administrative structure on strong effects of submission (agency conflict) excluded a process of development of patents. American shipbuilding at its beginning stage (the late 1800’s and early 1900’s) claimed itself to the whole world through submarine production at the level of patents. At the present time the product is produced in the pathological conditions (see above). The main vehicle for communication with the Customer are the shipbuilding company cookbooks. Adaptation of standards developed by the Customer (the Navy) is not not commensurable to the product production period time (effect of preserving cookbooks). Patents are ignored (effect of preserving cookbooks by the industry representatives of the agency conflict). Cookbook format resulted into a large number of quality deficiencies. Establishing information and academic centers in each state that has shipbuilding companies is a need. Issues formed by the industry will be transitioned by these centers into academic institutions that will address them with a positive effect for the taxpayers.
Congressman J. Courtney shaped the direction. Human factor (company’s human capital), quality, and shipbuilding industry is a need for our country. SCHWIPAR Centre for Innovational Development initiatively formed information center and academic center in its institutions with the purpose to perform work for achieving this goal.”

Sequence of tasks, milestones and deadlines implementation of the strategy
Consecutive period of time to create the basic industry product, which is 5 – 7 years or more, and then 20 – 30 years of using it effectively define the required range for the duration of the program implementation. It should be sufficient in duration to at least match the duration of the life cycle of the main product of the industry.
Integral collaboration with academic institutions is strategically justified only for this period of time. Time limitation of 5-7 years is covered through the research work of the students in the direction of three types of errors such as (1) historical (experience); (2) situational (intuition), and (3) know-how.
Full product life cycle adds to these educational institutions additional information for adaptation of the decisions made on these errors. At the initial period of introducing academic institutions into shipbuilding industry the following model can be used:
Problem formation through development of
-
model
-
mechanism
-
structure
-
where is novelty?
Then this direction will be re-validated during the construction period through research work as
-
goal
-
issue
-
problem
-
options
