Abstract

The utilization of computer simulation in the shipbuilding industry is not a new concept and many shipyards in the US and around the world are using simulation tools in a variety of ways with various levels of success. In other industries, computer simulation has proven itself as a powerful tool for reducing non-value added activities and promises to become more prominent in its use as a resource management tool. Its use in the manufacturing of outfitting components in the construction of Naval warships has had limited success due mainly to the inherent nature of ship construction, especially shipyards engaged in Naval warship construction. The focus of this thesis is directed towards the development of an Enterprise Supply Chain Model for the manufacture of outfitting components within a naval shipbuilding environment. A phased approach including model linking strategies are presented. Two of the initial simulation models developed are utilized as a discussion platform.
