Engineering for Ship Production

Abstract

Engineering for Ship Production is the use of production-oriented techniques to transmit and communicate design and engineering data to various users in a shipyard. The changeover from a traditional craft-organized shipyard to one of advanced technology has obviously had a tremendous effect on all shipyard departments. It should have had its second greatest impact on the engineering department. However, many engineering departments did not rise to this challenge and, therefore, lost what might have been a lead position for directing and controlling change. Production performance depends largely on the quality, quantity, and suitability of technical information supplied by engineering. By organizing for integrated engineering and preparing design and engineering for zone construction, engineering can step forward and take its proper place and play an essential role in the renaissance of U.S. shipbuilding. Using examples, this paper describes how this can be done.

Design/Engineering For Production (DEFP) and Shipyard: A Review on the Malaysian Technological Aspects and Practices

“…According to Corporationi [8], Integration DEFP should have as its main objectives: 1) Produce a design that represents an acceptable compromise between the needs of a shipowner and a builder (Functionality versus Producibility); 2) Produce a design that exhibits characteristics consistent with the known characteristics of the shipyard facilities (Availability versus Producibility); and 3) Produce a design that facilitates the integration of equipment effort with the effort of fabricating and assembling structural steel (Integrability versus Producibility). Engineering for ship production is the use of production-orientation technique to transmit and communicate design and engineering data to various users in the shipyard [9][10].…”

“…On the other hand, according to [12], isolated engineering is the approach in which, although the design details are shown, they do not integrate any input or production decision such as block boundaries, piping flange or weld breaks, preferred details to suit production methods etc. It normally took a long time to develop the engineering and then the production planning to organize the information into a production-compatible form [9][10].…”

Incidencias de los aligeramientos en los refuerzos primarios de las cubiertas de los buques

“…El paso de los diferentes servicios por debajo de las cubiertas del buque nos obliga a tener que tomar la decisión de elegir su trazado, bien por debajo de los baos o a través de aligeramientos practicados en ellos, tal y como si indica en la página 46 de la Ref. [19].…”
