INFLUENCE OF BLOCK BUILDING METHOD ON OUTFITTING EFFICIENCY AT AN ASSEMBLY SHIPYARD

摘要

This paper investigates the influence of five different block delivery models on outfitting efficiency in an assembly shipyard. For all the five models, the individual building method is generated. In addition, a method to measure the efficiency of block outfitting and outfitting process has been developed.rnThe developed calculation model for outfitting process is based on the time relation between different outfitting stagesrni.e. modular outfitting, flat block outfitting, block outfitting and onboard outfitting. The time relations between different outfitting stages are defined based on literature and experience of experts from Arctech Helsinki shipyard. The created calculation model gives overview of the reduction of direct outfitting working hours when applying different block delivery models in assembly shipyard. The model can be applied in all kind of shipyards providing that the shipyard has outfitting statistics from previous projects.
