The National Shipbuilding Research Program. Proceedings of the REAPS Technical Symposium. Paper No. 12: Application of Modular Software to Establish a "Closed Loop" System for Shipyard Production Control

Abstract

This paper addresses the key functions of a closed-loop production and inventory, and planning control system generally applicable to the shipbuilding industry. A key feature of the shipbuilding closed-loop system is the application of made-to-order concepts not generally used in production and inventory planning, and control systems for other industries. The use of modular packaged software to make the system operational on a timely step-by-step basis are explored. Special considerations for tailoring the software to satisfy general shipbuilding requirements are reviewed. A summary of the potential benefits of a closed-loop system (i.e., "what if" planning) is also included.
