A Simulation-based Dynamic Spatial Scheduling Method of Block Assembly in Shipbuilding

With the application of module-shipbuilding technology, problems of block spatial scheduling occur in lots of shipyards, and this restricts the productivity of shipbuilding. To address the problems, a simulation-based spatial scheduling method is proposed, which considered influence factors and contained new piecewise dynamic spatial scheduling strategy adjustment. Through the system we developed, the visual results of daily block layout and process chart can be easily obtained. The proposed system is tested with real examples that demonstrate the potential for use in a real block assembly workshop.
