SHIPBUILDING RESEARCH
• Different countries use different approaches.
• In Japan there is considerable cooperation between
all shipyards to develop basic research and then
groups of shipyards work together to implement it –
for example CIM.
• Korean shipbuilders are so large that they do not
cooperate.
• European shipbuilders work together through joint
EU funded programs.
• I will focus on shipbuilding productivity research.

PRODUCTIVITY
• It can be seen that shipbuilding productivity
varies from company to company and country
to country.

• Why is this and what are the factors that are


impacting shipbuilding productivity?

• I will try to answer these questions.

October 22-26, 2007 XX COPINAVAL RESEARCH INTO SHIBUILDING PRODUCTIVITY 4


UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN
DEPARTMENT OF NAVAL ARCHITECTURE AND MARINE ENGINEERING

PRODUCTIVITY (Continued)
• What is PRODUCTIVITY?
• How is it measured?
• How can it be compared across industries and
countries?
• If we can not answer any of these questions we
cannot measure or compare our performance with
others at a specific time or ourself over time.
• Therefore there has been research into productivity
in most industries for many years

October 22-26, 2007 XX COPINAVAL RESEARCH INTO SHIBUILDING PRODUCTIVITY 5


UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN
DEPARTMENT OF NAVAL ARCHITECTURE AND MARINE ENGINEERING

PRODUCTIVITY (Continued)
• Productivity is the amount of output achieved for a
given amount of input.
• The definition is easy, measuring it is not.
• Input could be materials, manpower and energy.
• Problem is that it is desirable to have a
dimensionless measure.
• This can be achieved by converting all output and
input to dollars.
• However, there are useful Productivity Metrics that
are not dimensionless

October 22-26, 2007 XX COPINAVAL RESEARCH INTO SHIBUILDING PRODUCTIVITY 6


UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN
DEPARTMENT OF NAVAL ARCHITECTURE AND MARINE ENGINEERING

PRODUCTIVITY (Continued)
• The continuing challenge that most businesses face for the
foreseeable future is improving productivity.
• It is a broad strategic issue. As such it must be of concern
to government, management, and workers.
• However, it is management’s responsibility to set and take
the necessary action to accomplish productivity goals.
• In the 1940s and 1950s, the measurement of productivity
focused on output, or the production of as much as possible
for a given input.
• In the 1960s and 1970s, quantity was no longer as
important as efficiency, or production at lowest cost.
• Today, productivity is effectiveness, which is a combination
of right product, right time, quality, and efficiency.

October 22-26, 2007 XX COPINAVAL RESEARCH INTO SHIBUILDING PRODUCTIVITY 7


UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN
DEPARTMENT OF NAVAL ARCHITECTURE AND MARINE ENGINEERING

PRODUCTIVITY (Continued)
• Productivity focus is usually on direct labor, but
management, engineering and indirect labor
productivity has biggest leverage for improvement.
• Must develop ways of measuring management,
engineering and indirect productivity.
• Labor productivity is a combination of labor
performance, labor utilization, process efficiency,
and planning effectiveness.
• Of the four, only the first one is directly controlled
by the worker.
• The other three offer the greatest potential for
productivity improvement and are solely dependent
on management.

SHIPBUILDING PRODUCTIVITY
• Research has shown that the main reason for
shipbuilding low productivity was inadequate work
organization.

• Design for Production can help but if the work for


the improved designs are not correctly organized
the benefit will not be achieved.

SHIPBUILDING PRODUCTIVITY (Continued)


• Again research has shown that highly productive
shipyards are characterized by:
Good work organization
Clearly defined objectives and policy
Short build cycles
Overlapping and integration of structure construction
and outfit installation

An awareness and use by management of productivity


measures
Engineering documentation prepared to suit production

PRODUCTIVITY MEASUREMENT
• A metric that could be called Overall Productivity is:
Annual Sales ($)/Cost of Doing Business ($)
where cost of doing business includes labor, fringe
benefits, overhead, material, utilities, facility and
capital.
• Prefer to call this Business Transformation Efficiency
• Both of these measures can be obtained from a
company’s annual financial report
• However, as it includes many factors it is difficult to
uses as a apple to apple comparison metric

October 22-26, 2007 XX COPINAVAL RESEARCH INTO SHIBUILDING PRODUCTIVITY 12


UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN
DEPARTMENT OF NAVAL ARCHITECTURE AND MARINE ENGINEERING

PRODUCTIVITY MEASUREMENT (Continued)


• So a number of researchers have suggested that the
best productivity measure is how much Value Added
is produced for each dollar of input cost, as it focuses
on cost directly controllable by the shipyard.
• The Value Added metric could be:
Annual Added Value in $/
Annual Cost to produce the Added Value
(Annual Sales – Annual Purchases)/
(Number of Employees x Average hours worked
annually x fully burdened labor rate in $)

October 22-26, 2007 XX COPINAVAL RESEARCH INTO SHIBUILDING PRODUCTIVITY 13

PRODUCTIVITY MEASUREMENT (Continued)


• However this type of information is NOT readily
available to researchers, thus not a good metric.
• Also, however attractive Added Value/Man Hour
appears, it has problems when comparing different
• countries with different consumer prices and labor
costs.
• It is better to use a metric which has output and
input measures that are internationally consistent.

DEPARTMENT OF NAVAL ARCHITECTURE AND MARINE ENGINEERING

PRODUCTIVITY METRICS
• Before performing any research into productivity it is
necessary to develop an acceptable Productivity Metric.
• There is no universally accepted productivity metric.
• A metric should be based on a readily available parameter.
• Potential candidates for shipbuilding are Steel Weight,
Lightship Weight, Displacement, and Gross Tonnage.
• The first four are all weights and would give similar results.
The final candidate is a volume.
• Research and Experience has shown that weights are not a
good parameter on which to base a productivity metric and
volume fairs little better.

PRODUCTIVITY METRICS (Continued)


• To over come this problem the concept of Compensated
Gross Tonnage was developed. The compensation is to
take into account ship type (complexity) and size.
• The concept has been developed by the Association of
West European Shipbuilders and the Shipbuilders
Association of Japan since 1967 and was adopted by
OECD in 1974 as a parameter on which to base national
shipbuilding output comparisons.
• Compensation coefficients have been developed over
many years through negotiation between major
shipbuilding countries. They have been developed for
most types of commercial ships BUT NOT FOR NAVAL SHIPS

October 22-26, 2007 XX COPINAVAL RESEARCH INTO SHIBUILDING PRODUCTIVITY 17


UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN
DEPARTMENT OF NAVAL ARCHITECTURE AND MARINE ENGINEERING

GROSS TONNAGE (Cont.)


• The Gross Tonnage of a ship is a measure of its volume.
• Another name for the process is Admeasurement, which
originated in England in the 16th century as a way to
measure the earning capability of a ship, so to assign dock
fees and taxes.
• It developed over the years into a very complex set of rules
with exemptions and deductions, but not the same in every
country.
• So the old measurement processes were replaced by an
international measure in 1970 by IMO.

October 22-26, 2007 XX COPINAVAL RESEARCH INTO SHIBUILDING PRODUCTIVITY 18

GROSS TONNAGE

The International Gross Tonnage is given by:

GT = K1 x V

Where K1 is a coefficient and V is the


molded volume of all enclosed spaces in
the Hull and Superstructure

COMPENSATED GROSS TONNAGE


• The Compensated Gross Tonnage is given by multiplying the
Gross Tonnage by a Compensation Coefficient.
• The Compensation Coefficient normalizes the Gross
Tonnage to that of a 15,000 ton Deadweight General Cargo
Ship
• Compensation Coefficients have been agreed by OECD and
were presented in a table for different ship types and sizes
• New values and a new approach were published in 2006 and
cgt is now an equation:

Cgt = A x GTB

PRODUCTIVITY METRICS (Continued)


• The CGT has been used as the output measuremnt for a
productivity metric in the form of:
Manhours/CGT (this is actually the inverse of Productivity)
CGT/Man Year
• It was originally used for aggregate measures such as
countries, but it has been refined to apply to individual
shipbuilders.
• So it is recognized and accepted by many as a very
important metric. However, its acceptance and use in some
countries is very limited.
• This may be due in part to the fact that some of these
countries build only naval ships and there are no universally
accepted compensation coefficients for naval ships.

October 22-26, 2007 XX COPINAVAL RESEARCH INTO SHIBUILDING PRODUCTIVITY 23


UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN
DEPARTMENT OF NAVAL ARCHITECTURE AND MARINE ENGINEERING

PRODUCTIVITY METRICS (Continued)


• How effective is the CGT approach as a productivity metric?
• If it was precise, for different ship types and sizes
constructed in the same shipyard, the man hours per CGT
would be the same.
• It can be seen from the next table that it is not precise, but it
is a significant improvement over Steel Weight.
• It is acknowledged that compensation coefficients could be
developed for steel weight, but this has not been done and
any independently developed values would not have the
international acceptance of the international shipbuilders
such as is the case for CGT.
• Why use the Gross Tonnage? Because it is a readily
available data point for every ship built in the world and with
the International Tonnage convention it is standard in every
country.

PRODUCTIVITY VERSUS TECHNOLOGY (Cont.)


In the 1978 Study Report it was stated:
“Probably the single most important requisite to making
major investments in facilities, is to have orders supporting
economies of scale. High level technology calls for
purpose designed jigs, fixtures and equipment, heavy lift
capability, etc., which are not readily adaptable to small runs
of different ship types, at least not efficiently. Thus if the
market does not provide a basis for long range
programming, individual shipyards must determine whether
the highest level of technology is economical for them.”
THIS IS EQUALLY TRUE TODAY
It is impossible to have the best world class
productivity without adequate and sustained
orders (annual throughput)

WHAT IS TECHNOLOGY
• Technology is the knowledge and processes used to
provide products for human use.
• Technology is thinkware, software and hardware as well
as their application processes.
• In shipbuilding it is the practices used to design and build
ships and other marine products.
• Advanced technology shipbuilding is associated with
production oriented design, block construction, very short
berth erection times and ships that are virtually complete
at launch.
• Advanced technology alone does not assure the
production of internationally competitive ships.

PRODUCTIVITY PREDICTIONS
A shipbuilding productivity predictor based on readily
available shipyard characteristics was developed and has
been modified to suit new CCGT and the shipyards visited
for this project as follows:

PD = 150 BP -3.00 TE0.27 PR0.60 DP0.41 VI -0.66 ST -0.08

This equation would predict the world class productivity


that a shipyard should be able to attain based on its values
for the parameters.
It could also show how much improvement in its Best
Practice Rating a shipyard would need to attain a specific
productivity, keeping all the other parameters the same.

PR = The Production Ratio is the ratio of total number of employees (TE)
divided by the number of production workers (PE).
VI = Vertical Integration is the ratio of value added by the shipyard versus the
total ship value and is defined by the percentage of labor cost to total cost.
DP = Dual Purpose Trigger = 1 if a shipyard is building commercial and naval
ships only, and the value is DP=2 for a yard producing commercial as well

This recent research (2006) investigated what
characteristics could be used to evaluate a shipyard’s
productivity.
It was performed by COPPE for the Brazilian Minister of
Technology and TRANSPETRO.
The method takes into account shipyard indices that
measure capacity, technology level, shipbuilding
environment, production time, and quality, resulting in the
productivity measure CCGT/MH using the new CGT
compensation coefficients which take into account series

A SHIPYARD’S PRODUCTIVITY (Continued)
Comparing the efficiency of shipyards is a difficult task due to the
complexity of different shipbuilding approaches and organization models.
The fact that shipyards are subject to specific environments also
contributes to increase the difficulty of efficiency comparisons.
This research objective was to develop a model to benchmark shipyards’
relative productivity based on Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) technique.
DEA is a technique originally presented by Charnes et. al. (1978) to
evaluate the relative efficiency of Decision-making Units (DMUs) through
the consideration of multiple inputs (i.e. resources used) and multiple
outputs (i.e. products and/or performance obtained).
The technique is based on Linear Programming (LP) where the efficiency is
defined as the ratio of the weighted sum of the m outputs to the weight sum
of the n inputs

The production profile indicated as 1,2,3 means the first three vessel of a
series of similar ships and CCGT correction factor for this situation is
equivalent to 0,91.
The production profile 1,1,1 means that the shipyard is building different
ships, or on other words, that series production is not being considered.
For this situation there is no corre
ction to be made and the CCGT factor equals 1.
The production profile 11,12,13 means that the shipyard is building the
11th, 12th and 13th vessels of a series of similar ships and the CCGT is
equivalent to 0,64.
