Study of technologies and processes in shipbuilding industry

Abstract

Shipbuilding industry is an important and strategic industry. The global shipbuilding industry has been dominated by Asian countries (China, Korea and Japan). Metal Processing technologies used on the steel are (straightening, shot-blasting, priming) marking, forming, cutting and welding. As will to recognize the common materials-handling and cranes multi-loads to be used in shipyard. The methodology of determination for the shipyard location factors is presented in the current work. It was determined most of the factors. Some may not be important for some countries or facilities. The selected layouts exhibit forms and arrangements of shipyards. Then, mentioned the layout planning method which will affect competitiveness and productivity. From the studies and experiences, it emerged that the product work breakdown structure "PWBS" and Group Technology improves the production and the Quality of the shipbuilding industry.
