The National Shipbuilding Research Program. Capacity and Resource Analysis Model (CRAM)

Abstract

The overall objective of this project was to develop an analytical tool to evaluate various production plan options across programs and determine the most efficient operational plan for shipyard resource and facility utilization. This model's intended use is three fold. Firstly aid shipyards in development preliminary build strategies during the strategic planning phase, secondly, update the build plans during the planning life cycle as the design matures, and finally, perform what if scenarios to identify capacity constraints as part of the operational planning process. As shown in figure 1-1, shipyards typically perform planning functions at three different levels during the contract life cycle
