IPD Methodology in Shipbuilding

Part 9: Operations Management in Engineer-to-Order ManufacturingInternational audienceThis paper proposes an Integrated Project Delivery methodology in shipbuilding from the perspective of design function, to validate with limited design knowledge whether the project can satisfy unified project goals. This is achieved by aligning real-time information flow with the design development process. The methodology is built on a systematic, multidisciplinary theoretical analysis and triangulation of methods and principles from ship design, lean construction, the collaborative BIM software, and multi-stage thinking from decision theory
