An efficient method to identify bottlenecks of the ship production process: serial lines

The ship production process involves numerous different technology treatments that are usually assembled in serial or assembly production lines affecting the shipyard’s productivity level significantly. Therefore, the analysis of the production system and its design for lean production including bottlenecks identification is of great importance. An efficient method to identify bottlenecks is presented in this paper providing a shipyard’s management with basic tools to meet this challenging shipyard’s floor issue. The PSEToolbox software is using the semi- analytical approach to calculate the machine blockage and starvation probabilities. Useful conclusions affecting production lines’ maintenance policy are presented.
