A starting point for any ship project is an overall shipyard strategy. This will define the ship types the management intend to build, the way in which the shipyard functions will operate, the facilities and subcontractor requirements. Main suppliers will be identified, as well as any other external organisations which can help or influence the shipyard. Development may be required to improve competitiveness and to allow the construction of the ships selected. Each development is a project, requiring careful planning. The volumes of production and the material flow require to be analysed, and the production equipment specified. For a major development, a suitable site must be found, major facilities decided, especially a dry dock and major buildings and equipment acquired. A financial analysis is essential to ensure viability.
