Sažetak
On its way to become successful and competitive on world shipbuilding market, shipyard has to build quality, to have small cost of production process and short delivery time of the ship. Optimisation of shipbuilding process using modular outfitting concept needs some changes in design and technological processes in shipbuilding. It needs some changes in outfitting by redirectioning of some outfitting works from blocks, berth and outfitting after launching of ship towards workshop. This is a way to shorten the time of shipbuilding process, reduce costs, increasing of competitiveness, without investment in new facilities, machines and tools. In this paper, a model which shows interdependence between various activities in shipbuilding process is described. This is a vehicle which can be used for research on dependence of shipbuilding process in relation with some changes in outfitting process while shifting some outfitting work from on-board towards outfitting workshops. Those workshops can be either a part of shipyard or a part of outsourcing. On the basis of the results obtained by this research, it is possible to measure optimisation results as consequence of using new modular outfitting concept within shipbuilding process. In this way, higher process efficiency, reduced activity cost and durations within shipbuilding process can be achieved. The authors suggest that further improvement is possible by introducing higher degree of standardisation, unification and typification of ship systems and structures, particularly adapted to modular outfitting concept, and additionally increased in way of on-block outfit.
