Matching product mix shipyard effectiveness through the design for production concept

The management of most shipyards would prefer to have an order book based on large series production of one type of vessel due to ease of design and minimal product variation. However, it is unrealistic for most shipyards to survive in this way. Therefore a design for production methodology for shipyards with product mixes is necessary. In this work, the analysis of design variations and structural configurations of three distinctly different types of ships, a chemical tanker, a car-carrier and a crane barge are presented. The method for determining the technological parameters that raise the production facility compliance level is explained and illustrated. The aim is to adapt all three vessel designs to be virtually equally compliant to the fixed shipyard production facilities as to enable a higher level of shipyard productivity. Finally, production friendly design guidelines are developed to be used by ship designers in the future.
