The National Ship[building Research Program. Proceedings of the REAPS Technical Sympsoium, Paper No. 20: An Approach to Successful Shipyard Planning and Scheduling
Abstract
Critical paths, "I-J" nodes, and activity duration are all words of the network designer. All are usually foreign to the shipyard planner, and in general, shipyard planning personnel tend to shy away from the networking approach to ship construction planning. Networking, however, can be used to plan, and subsequently schedule, the production work orders required to complete the construction of any vessel, regardless of its complexity. The fundamental approach to successful shop production planning and scheduling using networking techniques that have reduced planning time dramatically are described. Two basic criteria for the planning and scheduling network are "simplicity" and "accuracy". Simplicity is concerned with the creation, development, and maintenance of a production plan. Accuracy defines the manner in which the plan reflects the actual construction of the vessel in question.
