This paper optimises a shipyard layout to minimise the material handling costs during ship
construction with regard to the adjacency and alignment conditions of departments …

A methodology that optimizes the hull configuration of a production semi-submersible
system is developed in this study, which minimizes the hydrodynamic response of the hull …

Block fabrication is the process that has the greatest impact on shipbuilding efficiency, so
block spatial scheduling is widely studied as the key to improving shipbuilding efficiency …

Shipyards face tough problems such as ineffective production control and poor planning.
Identifying appropriate work packages is one of the challenges of ship production planning …

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) …

The shipbuilding of large fishing vessels industry has been traditionally reticent to major
changes. Nonetheless, in a globalised competitive world, significant changes need to be …

For optimal design of the hull dimensions of a semi-submersible platform, a method is
required that calculates optimal answers in a short time according to the certain objectives …

For block assembly, spatial scheduling and workforce assignment are two important issues.
Spatial scheduling is to decide the time and location place to assemble block, and workforce …
