Systemization of Production Control in the Shipyard

The effective planning of production control in the shipyard is greatly depended upon the accumulated personal knowledge and know-how of the well-experienced and qualified planning engineers.However, it is also understood that it is quite difficult to draw out and disclose such extensive knowledge and know-how and procedure in their mind, completely.To establish the effective system of production control under such circumstances, it was tried to categorize the full process of production control into two parts. i. e., one is the part closely related to the well-experienced engineers' knowledge and know-how and the other is the part to be carried out by the computer simulation.After that, the both parts to be composed into the unified system.It is most practical and effective that the planning will be planned by the well experienced engineers' knowledge at the initial stage of production control and thereafter the simulation to be performed by computer.Further, by introducing the knowledge and know-how of the well-experienced planning engineers into the system as much extent, the effective planning of production control can be prepared even by the unexperienced staff.In this paper, the following three major items from our study to be reported for such purpose. i. e., (1) Evaluation method of dividing hull into blocks.(2) Production control by well-experienced engineers and computer.(3) The procedure of work leveling and evaluation at the middle stage of production control planning.
