What is a supply chain?
Supply chain is the process of
getting a product from point A to
Point B.

It is a global network used to deliver

products and services through a
flow of-
1. Information
2. Physical Distribution
3. Cash

The sequence of processes involved in the

production and distribution of a commodity.

 Shipyard’s Supply Chain
Supply Chain, as earlier discussed is the flow of materials, information and capital among various organizations,
whose processes are linked for delivering products to final customer.

• Supply Chain of a shipbuilding

industry is a complex process, with
various stakeholders.
• The shipyard needs a collaborative
system.
 Nature of Ship-building Industry.
• Any manufacturing industry is one of the following type-

Ship-Building industry is an Engineer to Order Industry. It requires a customizable framework of

planning.
 Long-Term
Planning a Supply-chain
• Currently, one of the main challenges for most of the
shipbuilding companies is to manage the activities
Mid-Term performed by a network of suppliers worldwide.
• The supply chain processes are classified into long-
term, mid-term and short-term planning periods.
• So we take a look at the planning process followed by
a ship-yard before it begins its production, or any
Short- activity related to it.
Term
1. Sales Planning-
• The shipbuilding process begins with a sales plan
to receive orders from shipowners. Includes
market research, participation in bidding for
various contract, etc.

2.Preliminary Design-
• A reference ship from past is used.
• Lines plan, general arrangement, major equipment
and basic stability.
3.Supplier selection and long term material purchase
planning.
• Suppliers for raw materials are finalized.
• Purchase plans for major raw materials and major
equipment are chalked out.
Long-Term Planning Tasks
4.Product mix planning and major work type capacity
planning.
• The schedule for the ships to be built in a dock or
building berth and the product mix for the ships to be
built concurrently are determined.
• The work type capacity plan is devised.
 1. Basic and Detailed Design-
• In basic design, primary Ship calculations and Stability
Mid-term Planning tasks calculations are done. A Plan for primary outfitting is
devised.
• Based on basic design, the construction drawing for the
actual ship is created, which is referred to as detailed
design. In detailed design, the hull structure and outfitting
are primarily designed.
2. Purchase and delivery plans for structural
steel and outfitting materials.
• Purchase and Delivery plan for Structural Steel and Block
Bill of Material(BOM) derived.
• The plans for purchasing outfitting items and their
delivery schedule are also established based on the
outfitting BOM obtained from the midterm detailed design.
3. Work Planning for Block and Zone-
• A specific plan for each block, depending on product-mix
and work-capacity plan is made. It includes block
assembly, block outfitting, block erection, etc.
 Short-term
1. Production Design-
• Part and assembly drawings, shop
planning tasks
drawing, cutting plan, manufacturing
BOM, etc. are final results in production
design.
2. Material inventory and
inbound/outbound management.
3. Execution Plan-
• A final detailed plan for schedule,
manhour, quantity and cost of detailed
works.
4. Spatial arrangement for a Quay.
At a Glance-
• Once a ship begins its service, it in turn becomes a component of a supply-chain, and is
responsible for transportation of over 90% of the international trade.

• A supply chain keeps tabs on where the products are flowing at all times.

• Internet of things and Blockchain technologies are being continuously used to

strengthen the reach of supply-chains, making them more effective.
A transparent Supply-Chain in times of COVID…

Transparency is a must to improve emergency and humanitarian support, such as with the Covid-19 pandemic.
Distribution of Covid -19 vaccine is ay present a logistic challenge that has never been faced before.
