The National Shipbuilding Research Program. 1989 Ship Production Symposium. Paper No. 4: Design for Steelwork Production During the Concept Design Phase (The National Shipbuilding Research Program)

Abstract

Methods of improving the level of pre-contract design definition and the quality of information relating to steelwork are described. This information is combined with a comprehensive database of manufacturing process information to provide a system for estimating the work content of the main structural steelwork of ships such as ro-ro vessels. Procedures are described which facilitate consistent estimates to be made while minimizing data handling requirements and increasing the flexibility of the method at the concept design stage.
