Production refinements bring success at a remarkable yard

摘要

In this journal's opinion, Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering is one of the very best in developing and refining the design and production of ships' steelwork. Readers may recall this company's concept some years ago of a complete upper cargo deck section for the first double-hull VLCCs built there, followed by the narrow-slot technique for joining plates and stiffeners to transverse webs.rnToday, enthusiastic work continues in the Okpo yard's production engineering department to refine the construction process as part of an ever-present struggle to reduce lead times, build quality and safe ships, and to deliver them on time. One of the most important aspects, believes Daewoo, is a culture of eager staff and encouragement of their ideas, so that the best productivity increases can be secured.
