“…The frame spacing should be constant throughout the ship's length with the exception of the peaks, where the usual practice of incorporating smaller spacing can be followed if it has no adverse impact on the producibility of the bow and the stern. In the case of bulk carriers and general cargo ships, some designers deliberately varied the lengths of the different holds and tween decks to equalize the loading and unloading times [21]. This required that a vertical zone incorporating hold and tweendeck reefer lockers should be shorter than another zone without reefer lockers.…”

“…The previously mentioned shipbuilding examples indicate some of the ways, but a shipyard must have a clear goal to achieve before applying any part of group technology. The goal should be clearly documented, and a review of possible methods to achieve it be made [21]. If group technology is selected as the best method, it is probable that better definition of the current status will be required, and that is where classification and coding is first applied.…”

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.
