Ship Production describes the principles and practice of ship production employing state-of-the-art group technology. The book first introduces shipbuilding terms, economic and production management theories, the general concept of group technology, and the application of group technology to shipbuilding through a product-oriented work breakdown structure.Chapters are devoted to basic manufacturing and construction processes, historical and descriptive discussions of shipyard layout (leading to a group technology layout and the use of process lanes), a system for ship design and engineering to support the shipbuilding system, and design for production and CAD/CAM application. Also covered are planning, scheduling, and production control, and the application of statistical accuracy control techniques to shipbuilding.Storch, Richard L. is the author of 'Ship Production ', published 1995 under ISBN 9780870334610 and ISBN 0870334611.
