Application of Computer Systems to Ship Design Work Control

Abstract

In recent years, various kind of computer systems has been widely applied to engineering calculations and ship design. However, it has not yet been reported that the computer was applied to the control of ship design works. In this paper, the computer system applied to the control of design alterations is introduced. The statistical methods such as the multivariate analysis are successfully adapted to the factorial analysis of design alterations. The results obtained show us the effective methods to reduce design alterations. Other applications, such as the scheduling and follow-up control of issue of drawings, are also demonstrated.
