METHOD PLANNING IN THE FABRICATION OF STEEL HULLS

To obtain a rational fabrication of the steel hull in the production department of a shipyard, it is necessary to carry out method planning at an early stage in the design process. Such method planning may be sub-divided into two stages, Phase I concerned with classification drawings and Phase II concerned with workshop drawings. The paper gives some examples to show how assembly can be facilitated and weight savings made and also discusses the characteristics of a production promoting drawing system.
