Research on the Milestones Takt Time of the General-Assembly Shipbuilding

Abstract

Achieving a balanced production is the most important way for a maximum production efficiency in the General-assembly shipbuilding enterprise. The design and application of milestones takt time in the General-Assembly Shipbuilding production line is vital to achieve a balanced production. This paper empirically analyzed the possibility and necessity of applying milestones takt time in the General-Assembly Shipbuilding production process and elaborate a way how to design the milestones takt time of shipbuilding by designing the takt time of production milestone of the ships built by parallel and series construction mode in dry dock. Then the historic production record of a large domestic shipbuilding enterprise was used to simulated and analyzed in milestones takt time, proving the feasibility and necessity of application of milestone takt time in the final assembly shipbuilding production process.
