| Overview |
| Shipbuilding and ship repair projects are capital-intensive efforts in which short cycle-time
and cost-efficiency are of paramount importance, regardless of whether the
customer is a government defense organization or a commercial ship owner/operator.
At the macro-level, projects in this industry have the characteristics of
low-volume (if not unique), fixed-position-assembly construction contracts,
but at lower levels of the work breakdown structure, they embody an integrated
system of high-volume manufacturing processes. The complexity of the ship
platform itself is further compounded in the case of naval vessels by the
concurrent development of the mission payload. This requires project management,
robust planning and control systems agile enough to accommodate design and
production changes, and must facilitate the implementation of lean / six
sigma principles. The methods and tools currently in use in shipbuilding
and ship repair are
often described as "legacy systems" that are not commensurate with the dynamic
environment that is inherent to the industry. |
