Have you noticed the vibrant, graffiti-style conex boxes out in the shipyard? Operations Resource Centers (ORCs) serve as a place where foremen can get support as they take on the elements of their job. Inside each of the ORCs are shipbuilders who welcome all questions to the production forefront. Marvin Eubanks, production planning and scheduler, uses his experience to assist foremen where needed.
Great leaders set the tone for a positive and professional workplace.

Don’t miss the opportunity to boost your leadership skills! Lunch will be provided.
