CONSTRAINTS IMPOSED ON DESIGN AND TECHNICAL ACTIVITIES BY SHIPBUILDING PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY

Recent years have seen a rapid advance in shipbuilding production technology. For production to achieve the full potential from developments in machines, processes, and production organisation, it is essential that the changing demands on the technical departments are recognised and acted upon. This paper identifies the major constraints imposed on the technical departments by production technology and considers in detail the influence of machines, design for production, numerical control, organisation of production, and information systems.
