DISEÑO ORIENTADO A LA PRODUCCIÓN Y SU APLICACIÓN EN EL PROYECTO DE CONSTRUCCIÓN DE UN BUQUE TIPO FERRY

Abstract

In an increasingly and globalized sector as the new constructions naval one, the search of reductions in execution terms and production costs becomes essential. With this aim, the vessel project should be analyzed globally, as well as in conjunction with the installations in which it will be built. The present research includes a series of improvement proposals for the construction of a 78 meters length ferry, destined to the transport of 700 passengers and 590 lineal meters of shipment. These improvements are centered in the equipment and components standardization in the accommodation area and engine room, as well as in the general arrangement of these spaces, by orienting their design to manufacturing. All this will lead to a series of results, in which it is demonstrated that the correct application of these changes reduces considerably production times and, in consequence, the costs associated to them. In parallel, this study analyzes the facilities of the shipyard, proposing changes in its workshops and identifying new business lines, in order to improve the strategic situation of the organization.
