Development of collaborative design system for ship and offshore engineering based on lean theory
As the background of adopting lean manufacturing mode in shipbuilding enterprises,combined with lean design theory and practice,the development goals and overall framework of collaborative design system for marine and off-shore engineering projects are proposed,and it is verified by the independent information system development and applica-tion.The developed system platform consists of three sub-systems:design collaborative management,ship type database,and desktop client virtualization.Each system consists of several functional gate modules,the application effect of this system is confirmed to satisfy the defined requirements.At the same time,based on the production line of strip robots put into opera-tion by the case enterprise,a data fusion study was conducted between the design system and the control system of the strip robot production line.Per the discussion of lean digital transformation in the implementation process of enterprise projects,combined with lean theory,a Lean Design Practice(LDP)suitable for shipbuilding and offshore engineering enterprises is proposed for manufacturing design process re-engineering and system development,providing reference value for the applic-ation of shipbuilding and offshore engineering as well as other manufacturing industries.
