Shipyard investment planning by use of modern process-simulation and layout-planning tools
Abstract
This article describes the integration of production capacity process simulation and interactive 3D shipyard layout planning tools as new and sufficient planning tools. The tools mentioned are established in the shipbuilding industry and can be used for different capacity planning purposes in shipbuilding and related industries. Large benefits can be gained for the companies by using these tools such as minimal investment costs, sufficient amount of production capacities required and an optimal arrangement of the shipyard facilities.
