For outfitting processes in ship building time and cost saving alternative assembling method are available. As shown alternative assembling techniques do have advantages compared to traditional assembling method, e.g. welding. From the technical point of view the described joining techniques do offer an equal load bearing capacity. The completion of additive constructive needs could be achieved by choosing capable fasteners or adhesives. Furthermore alternative assembling methods do offer a significant cost reduction potential. Additional the higher flexibility regarding the time of assembling in the production process and the higher part of primary processing time could improve outfitting processes. The reduction of heat affected deformation and paint damage and therefore a higher production quality due to heat reduced joining techniques are also named. Four reasons for researching different joining technologies besides welding are: (1) Damages of preinstalled outfitting parts (e.g. control enclosures), (2) deformation caused by heat treatment during welding process, (3) paint damage caused by heat treatment during welding process, (4) joining of dissimilar base materials and (5) process optimisation. In this paper the following three possibilities to show economical and technological alternatives are discussed: (1) Blind rivet joining,(2) gluing, and (3) framing channel system. As application examples the mechanical joining technique is tested for assembling door frames. Gluing is investigated for assembling lash pots and thresholds. The framing channel system is investigated for assembling pipe supports.
