Abstract
- In the early 2000s, shipyards in South Korea were the most competitive in the world for commercial vessels because of their accumulated production and quality management capabilities. In the mid-2000s, the rising trend of international oil prices and predicted market growth of offshore structures caused large shipyards in South Korea to start focusing on the construction of offshore structures. However, these shipyards suffered massive losses because they did not properly reflect the characteristics of offshore structures, which differ from those of commercial vessels. Such losses can largely be classified into engineering losses and production losses. This study aimed to address problems related to outfitting installation work from a production perspective. An algorithm was developed to define an efficient spool installation sequence and was verified through actual data of offshore structure. The developed algorithm should make it possible to plan spool installation work by determining an efficient spool installation sequence. In addition, the algorithm can assist in prompt decision making and eliminate wasted cost and time by providing with an efficient spool installation sequence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
