PRODUCTION PLANNING AND SCHEDULING (Continued)SCHEDULING• Scheduling also focuses on the future, but on when the activities• must be performed.• Scheduling is sometimes considered a part of Planning.• Operating schedules start at the top of an organization in the form

of the integrating “MASTER SCHEDULE” and cascade downwardto each department, section, group and team.

• Operating schedules range from the simple to the complex, eachbeing suitable for specific applications. Point to point schedules aresuitable for tasks to be performed in sequence. Overlap or parallelschedules are suitable for tasks that must be performed at the sametime or portions of the same time. Finally, network schedules aresuitable for complex tasks where both sequence and overlapapproaches are needed.

• PERT/CPM is the best known network scheduling approach

• A GANT Chart is a graphic scheduling technique. It can be usedfor the simple sequence or overlap tasks or be an outcome of thePERT system once the network has been developed. This isimportant because many people can follow the Gant Charts buthave trouble following the network chart.

PRODUCTION AND MATERIAL CONTROLPRODUCTION CONTROL• Production Control consists of the continuous adjustments which• are required to accomplish the plan and infers the existence of

(1)an information system by which the actual state of theactivities is compared to the planned state and(2) the existence of a feed back system by which adjustmentscan be made into the production planning stage

• Production Control depends upon processing adequate amountsof accurate and timely information regarding the current statusof the production plan; the work in process; inventories; human,facility and material resources; and requirements projections.

• Production Control begins with techniques for organizing andconceptualizing information about the plan and the currentstatus of events in pursuing the plan.

PRODUCTION AND MATERIAL CONTROL (Continued)PRODUCTION CONTROL (Continued)• In some shipyards, Production Control is responsible for the

issuance of the work packages and material release documents.If the shipyard Engineering Department does not prepare thetechnical documentation in a form that is directly usable by theProduction Department and the shipyard does not have aProduction Engineering Department, the Production ControlDepartment will need to prepare the work sketches that go withthe Work Packages.

• Tools used by Production Control include Inventory Modeling,Queuing Theory, Material & Resource Planning, andPERT/CPM

• Production Control and Material Control are so closelyintertwined that many companies combine them.

PRODUCTION AND MATERIAL CONTROL (Continued)MATERIAL CONTROL

• Material Control (MC) is often called Materials Management.

• MC starts with a Bill of Material for a given product, usuallydeveloped by Engineering and manipulated by ProductionPlanning to sort into required sequencing and delivery dates.

• MC then involves procuring, receiving, wharehousing, handling,delivering within the shipyard, plus all the informationmanagement required for the successful operation of all theabove activities.

• MC tools include inventory control and Material RequirementsPlanning, sometimes referred to as MRPI.

PRODUCTION AND MATERIAL CONTROL (Continued)MATERIAL CONTROL (Continued)

• Very few U.S. shipyards use the MC system described in thehandout. They prefer to use MRPI or MRPII (Material andResource Planning) systems.

• Again, Material Control and Production Control are so closelyintertwined that many companies combine them, especially ifthey use MRPII which can handle both in an integrated database.

BUILD STRATEGY APPROACH• The Build Strategy is a corner of the shipyard business triangle.• The other corners are its Business Plan and its Shipbuilding

Policy.• The business plan should set the vision for the immediate future.• The shipbuilding policy develops the business plan into the• preferred way the shipyard wants to achieve the business plan.

It covers use of facilities, how the different types of ships in itsselected product range will be built, including their blockbreakdown and zone definition, and the processes to be used fordesign, purchasing, production and testing.

• In addition, the SP identifies productivity targets and futureimprovement plans.

• The SP also includes the shipyard’s Product-oriented WorkBreakdown Structure.

MODERN SHIPBUILDING PRACTICE

BUILD STRATEGY APPROACH

The Business Plan sets a series of targets for the technical

and production part of an organization.

To meet these targets, a set of decisions is required on:

• facilities development,

• productivity targets,

• production organization and methods,

• planning and contract procedures,

• make-buy and subcontractor policy, and

• technical and production organization.

10/15/98 41

MODERN SHIPBUILDING PRACTICE

BUILD STRATEGY APPROACH

The Shipbuilding Policy is developed from a company’s

Business Plan, and includes such topics as:

• the product range which the shipyard aims to build,

• shipyard capacity and targeted output,

• targets for costs, and

• pricing policy.

10/15/98 43

MODERN SHIPBUILDING PRACTICE

BUILD STRATEGY APPROACH (Continued)• The Build Strategy applies the shipbuilding policy to a specific

ship type and size.• A Build Strategy is an agreed design, material management,

production and testing plan, prepared before any work starts,with the aim of identifying and integrating all necessaryprocesses.

• While the scope of the SP requires that it be developed utilizingConcurrent Engineering approach, that is by a cross-functionalteam with members from all departments in a shipyard, itsdevelopment negates the need for CE.

• The contents of the Shipbuilding Policy and Build Strategy havebeen well documented.

BUILD STRATEGY APPROACH (Continued)

• World class shipyards do not necessarily use the Build Strategyapproach but they have systems in place that perform the samefunctions.

• U.S. shipyards should use the approach as it can assist them tobetter plan, communicate and perform their work. Workorganization is where U.S. shipyards are weak, compared toworld class shipbuilders.
