The National Shipbuilding Research Program. 1995 Ship Oroduction Symposium. The Influence of Integrated CAD/CAM Systems on Engineering for Production Methodologies in Shipbuilding

Abstract

This paper discusses the influence of integrated CAD/CAM systems on engineering for production methodologies in shipbuilding, using the European, and particularly the Spanish, experience as an example. While traditional methods of ship production are ill-suited for today's international shipbuilding arena, approaches such as engineering for production can provide significant improvements to a shipyard's competitive edge, using concepts such as simple and repetitive modules; enhanced work organization; and transitioning, as the ship design matures, from a 'systems' perspective to a perspective of 'workstations and zones'.
