Abstract:

The aim of this study is to measure and evaluate the efficiencies of ship building and maintenance shops performing under one of the Turkish Navy Shipyards. As a result of 6-months-period comparative shop performance evaluations, the study puts forward (1) the comparative efficiency ratings of each job shop, (2) the level of required modifications to the particular input and output values for making inefficient shops more efficient, and (3) the factors that could affect the efficiency scores. Based on the results obtained from the correlation and regression analyses, it is observed that the most important factors influencing the efficiency of job shops are the quantities of lost workforce and unidentified jobs.
