Engineering For Ship Production: A Textbook
Abstract
This is the first book to be written on what appears to be a relatively flaw approach to the practice of engineering for the construction of currant and future ships. The application of the recently introduced design-for-production technique is described and illustrated through examples. However, it is suggested that this technique is not really new and that it has coma about only as an individual technique because ship designers have become isolated from the actual production of ships. The ship designers also appear to have forgotten that all design should he developed to he the best for production. Once the best production-oriented designs are developed, it is necessary to transmit the design information to the various departments in the shipyard that use the information. The methods currently used to do this are based on tradition and have not changed much over many years. They are not the most suitable for the efficient production of ships. Therefore, improvements to the existing shipyard engineering methods are presented, and as such are the basis for engineering for production. The book developed from the author's l978 SNAME paper, "Engineering for Modern Shipyards," and U of W lectures on Ship Production Technology.
