Methodology for Shipyard Production Areas Optimal Layout Design

A novel methodology for creating a preliminary optimal layout design of shipyard production areas is proposed in this article. Proposed methodology is based on the implementation of a specifically defined procedure in four phases. The first phase established the closeness relationships of the chosen production areas from the shipbuilding process technological point of view, based upon a survey of relevant experts. Thereupon, the second phase proposed the generation and valuation of all possible production layout variants within the shipyard. The method of systematic layout planning based on previously established closeness relationships was used. Furthermore, after establishing a representative number of most competitive variants, the third phase considers hierarchical modeling, by using the analytical hierarchy process, to choose the variant which most optimally satisfies all criteria. In the fourth and final phase, a sensitivity analysis is performed in order to check the stability of the chosen layout of production areas. Proposed methodology is applied on the real problem of shipyard layout design optimization.
