Sub-assembly is the basic stage of ship hull construction. It is necessary to optimize the
scheduling of sub-assembly to shorten its assembly cycle and ensure the normal execution …

This study explores the block spatial scheduling problem in shipbuilding, in which a series of
blocks needs to be arranged in a workplace. Each block is irregularly shaped and has a …

Scheduling block assembly in shipyard production poses great difficulties regarding the
accurate prediction of the required spatial resource and effective production control for …

The extremely competitive shipbuilding sector is going through a digital transformation in the
context of Industry 4.0. The spatiotemporal problem has gained considerable attention …

The spatial scheduling problem that arises in hull block assembly shops occurs when
scheduling and spatial allocation of the blocks must be considered simultaneously. We …

The block erection area is an important bottleneck resource that determines the throughput
and productivity of a shipyard. This study addresses Block Spatial Scheduling (BSS) …

Assembly block location and sequencing are two important and related problems for
scheduling a flat transporter to perform block storage and transport within a planar storage …

Spatial scheduling is the key process that constraints the productivity and time in offshore
structure construction. However, block processing times are usually uncertain in reality. To …

For shipbuilding, spatial scheduling and workforce assignment are two important issues for
the operation management in block assembly shops. Spatial scheduling is to decide where …

Due to no effective rescheduling method in hull curved block construction planning, existing
scheduling planning can't be applied in practical production effectively. Two-dimensional …
