Automatic generation of a section building planning for constructing complex ships in European shipyards

Efficient planning of the section building process is important for European shipyards since delays in this process can disrupt the on-time delivery of a ship. Automatically generating production schedules of the section building process can result in higher quality schedules compared to those created manually. Recently, the production processes...

Effective use of 'underwater' planning tricks in complicated engineering networks?

Engineering-to-Order (ETO) processes in shipbuilding rely heavily on the short lead times of design and engineering information. Co-engineering parties are constantly confronted with the question whether or not to share immature, preliminary information: Working with preliminary information will certainly induce iterations and rework once the...
