Popis: | 99 Various stages of the shipbuilding processes are linked together, and the efficiency of their execution depends on the quality of the design data and the management of production progress. The construction of every ship must meet the owner's requirements in customized development and design; therefore, the cumulative data output of ship building projects is both enormous and complex. This is the reason that the design unit and the construction unit must maintain close contact to obtain the most correct and up-to-date information. The latest information and messages must be communicated effectively between the various design and construction departments to reduce the loss of costs in design and construction through inefficient activities due to outdated information. The use of Product Data Management (PDM) system can meet the requirements of the unique mode of operation of shipyards, and it can also systematically process and categorize all of the problems and resolutions encountered during the shipbuilding process. A PDM system can establish a knowledge base and corporate culture unique to the shipyard, thus improving its shipbuilding quality, efficiency and competitive advantage. This study implemented the PDM system developed by Data Systems in the Design Department of Shipyard A during their project involving the construction of a chemical tanker for CPC. Through the application of PDM functions such as user-access management, product document management, design process management and design project management, the design drawings, equipment manuals, construction documents, and the paper works in different formats of Shipyard A were integrated and shared within a unified data management platform. This was to maintain the validity of data and the consistency of file formats, and to ensure a smooth interface between the various stages, thus reducing the likelihood of project delays. This study then extended the PDM system to construct a "Knowledge Management System". During the project, data were stored within the PDM system through collecting, processing, analysis, instruction and application, thus systematically integrating multiples information during the shipbuilding process into a knowledge base unique to the shipyard. This information-oriented approach to the shipbuilding project allowed for a project management process that is highly efficient, which at the same time integrated the different construction projects of Shipyard A, shortened the duration between ship design to delivery procedure, and improved ship quality, thus reducing warranty-related projects, and ultimately elevating the corporate image of Shipyard A and its overall competitiveness. |
