The Concept of Manufacturing Process Technology Improvement of the Measurement Activities in a Small Shipyard

Abstract:

Climate change is a reason for intense efforts to reduce CO2 emissions to the atmosphere. One of the ways of achieveing this goal is the use of intermodal transport, including the use of river transport. This requires the construction and maintenance of a fleet of ships, which due to their large size need specific requirements in terms of measuring elements both for their construction and renovation of existing units. Based on the example of a small shipyard, this paper presents basic tools and methods of the manufacturing process which are critical for the control and quality assurance of the work performed in the shipyard. The paper proposes also their improvement by using software dedicated to measuring blocks.
