Development of Accuracy Control Computer Programs, Data Management and CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing) Interfaces

摘要

As U.S. shipyards adopt zone oriented ship production techniques, the need for employing an accuracy control system has become apparent. There are a number of repeated functions to be performed following the establishment of the system. The goal of the research is the development of the necessary, user-friendly computer software to support an accuracy control system. The software package will be flexible to ease its adaptability to any shipyard. It will include all required analysis subroutines, a data management system and the links to vessel and work process definition for inclusion in a CAD/CAM system. The software will work interactively, and will provide distributions of variation and control charts as standard outputs.
