This article describes a method for planning the assembly of ship hulls that focuses on a
welding sequence, takes into account subassembly processes and makes use of a …

The panel block is a quite important “intermediate product” in the shipbuilding process.
However, the assembly efficiency of the panel block assembly line is not high. Therefore …

This work presents an innovative constrained programming model for solving a flexible job-
shop scheduling problem with assemblies and limited buffer capacity based on a real case …

It is critical to estimate the workforce requirements for the production of blocks in
shipbuilding. In this study, the number of workforce (man-day) required for the production of …
