AN INNOVATIVE THEORY OF CONSTRAINTS BASED APPROACH FOR IMPROVEMENT OF SHIPYARD PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Abstract

There is a major manpower requirement for process production in shipyard industry under hard working conditions with hazardous material. Shipbuilding period comprises cutting and marking of the steel plates, steel fabrication, assembly of the sections, erection on slipway, launching of the vessel, sea trials and the delivery of the vessel to the Owner. Block fabrication is the main production process in shipyards. It includes many kinds of inputs and interconnected processes and each process has an effect on the next stages of a ship’s life cycle. Thus, a good planning ought to be developed to make an efficient producing process. Besides, due to the growing environmental awareness, new and innovative methods must be implemented in ship manufacturing. In this study, work-flow and data have been obtained from production stations of a shipyard, which has duplicate production concept, and critical chain, project and feeding buffers have been calculated. The obtained data has been compared with the results of calculation and result has revealed that the new findings have contributed to gaining a more fruitful production process.
