Abstract :
[en] This paper presents a part of new developments included inside a holistic optimisation strategy during the design cycle of ships. The first part of the paper describes an algorithm to maximize the number of ship blocks and ship sections to produce in workshops during a certain time window. A tool was developed in order to support planners to improve the space utilization and workshop productivity. Thanks to this software, the scheduling is now done more efficiently and above all it takes less time. The second part of the paper describes a recent development of an algorithm able to generate a feasible blocks erection sequence starting from the blocks splitting definition. The idea is to integrate this module as a new functionality inside simulation software in order to take into account blocks sequence during the elaboration of the optimised production strategy. The two developments were validated on the lower hull of a semi-submersible platform coming from a new Brazilian shipyard.
