Computer-aided design and flexible automated manufacturing technologies presently available and currently under active development can provide the keys to improved productivity in shipbuilding. The specific applications of these technologies, implemented or proposed for other more structured and product-form stationary industries, are not generally applicable to shipbuilding. The problem addressed by this project is the research and analysis of the potential mating of advanced productivity improvement technologies to shipbuilding. Formal criteria are proposed for the selection of ship construction operations and the establishment of their priority as candidates for further study of automation potential.
