Concurrent engineering in a complex unique production through development of communication standards which will lead to a fully integrated industrial shipbuilding process

Objective



The shipbuilding industry is characterised by the production of unique complex products. The market demands shorter delivery times and even more specific unique products for the customers. In the shipbuilding process itself the shipyard adds about 30% of the value. The other 70% of the value of the ship is added by a lot of subcontractors. In the building of a medium sized ship (3000-8000 DWT) an average of about 30 participants play a role in which each partici pant has its own communication standard. Of these 30 participants about 5 of them add about 80% of the value of the ship. These five main participants are the shipyard itself, the design & engineering company, the electrical contractor, the mechanical contractor and the propulsion contractor. The RTD goals to be reached are primairy reductions of total lead time of the design, engineering and building of an average medium sized, reduction of the total amount of manhours for erection and on-board outfitting and reduction of the number of communication standards in the shipbuilding process.
