Ship Producibility As It Relates to Series Production. Volume 3. Ship Design Process
Abstract
To fully realize the benefits of a series production program, the shipyard must adjust to a series production mode of operation which will optimize the utilization of the fixed facility characteristics. The general approach recommended in achieving this objective is to establish a balance of capabilities throughout the production facility, as required to adequately support production of a given series of ships. To accomplish this goal, four major task items have been identified which, when properly accomplished, will assure a coordinated and well prepared approach to a series production program. The four (4) major topics included are: a. The Product Design Effort b. The Facilities Capability c. The Stationization Plan d. The Manufacturing Plan. Manual While the above items are not necessarily new to shipbuilding, the level of detail recommended for these topics and the emphasis given to the specific detail planning, is in excess of that detail normally required to support single ship construction.
