The shipbuilding industry is not the exceptional among those industries that are trying to apply computers to the production planning. However, unless the shipbuilders standardize their production system before the application of computers, they will fail in the effective use of them and miss the way to modernized shipbuilding.
The authors, from this viewpoint, have attained the improved procedure for scheduling and dispatching of steel materials as well as the continuous flow-production system at marking, cutting and subassembling stages.
In this paper, the authors report on the computer programs for day-to-day scheduling of the above stages. Those programs are called PLOT, DICOT, FAIM and FAS, and included in the COSPAC that was shown in the 1st report.
Thus the KAWASAKI HEAVY INDUSTRIES has achieved wide range of rationalization to reduce production period and to develop efficiency of operation.
