INTRODUCTION TO THE SHIPBUILDING

Shipbuilding industry is a specialised and customised industry. Due to its inherent nature, the ship building activities cannot be automated beyond a certain limit. Every ship at the building stage is a new project with wide range of variables and implications. The execution part needs meticulous planning and implementation. The knowledge base of managers and skill set of workers play a very important role in the output of the finished Ship. In order to achieve a reasonable level of output and productivity compared to the International ship building standards, Indian shipyards have to work to improve on several more fronts. One of the identified areas of concern is the knowledge and ability of the Ship Building Crew in understanding the processes and sequence of ship building activities from concept, design, planning, procurement, execution and delivery.
