Research On The Modular Manufacturing Networks Of Shipbuilding Industry

Since the beginning of reform and opening up, our country shipbuilding industry has got brilliant achievements by the fleetness develop. Along with the unceasing improvements of its international competitiveness, the shipbuilding industry's position in international market enhances unceasingly. But when compared with the advanced world shipbuilding country such as Japan, Korea and so on, there is still enormous gap with them which is brought by the backwardness production way of shipbuilding. Much the estate practice is testified that modularization and modular manufacturing networks is an effective way to reply to the organization and process of complicated product system. Therefore, in order to enhance the international competitiveness further and reply to boat market's excessive supply over the world, it is certain that we need to transform shipbuilding pattern and develop the modular shipbuilding energetically. With modularization shipbuilding way are ceaselessness applied, it will bring about great changes of organizing form and form modular manufacturing networks of shipbuilding industry. Therefore, it is very important and significant to study how our country's shipbuilding industry modular manufacturing networks forms.On the basis of reading and arranging literatures, the thesis estates some correlation theories firstly, such as organizes evolution and estate fixes in cluster theory , complex product system theory, the evolution theory on the complexity science, the relevant theory on modules and modular and the related theories on modular manufacturing networks and so on. Then it defines to the industrial colony, complex product system, module, modulation, modular manufacturing networks and so on. Here, based on that, this paper gives an multi-analysis to the formation causes of modular manufacturing networks from four aspects: the pattern change of shipbuilding, the reason to why modular manufacturing networks appears, the challenge while shipbuilding industry developing highly and the formation mechanism of modular manufacture network. Besides, the paper analyses how modular manufacturing networks forms unified FPSO.In the course of economic development, following the changing of the resources such as material, human, technology and information, the manufacturing networks is changing continually and forms its own evolvement in the long term. From the angle of time, to analyze the modular manufacturing networks is mainly to explore the vertical and transverse structure evolvements of industries. During the analyses of vertical structure, this dissertation introduces the performance of organizations, value added process and logistic model of industry chain, establishes the strategy choosing and quick membership choosing models, and states the vertical structural relation of ship-building industry taking 45, 000 DWT chemical ( product oil) tanker for example. In the analyses of transverse structure, it examines the performance of organizations in the network, the industrial competition network as well as the competition and cooperation network. From the angle of space, this dissertation investigates the ship-building industry clusters, on the basis of analysis on industry cluster and its network structure, and proves that the evolvement form of modular manufacturing networks is industry cluster through the empirical study of ship-building cluster in Yangtze River Delta.Finally the thesis has structured a model to evaluate the performance of China's shipbuilding industry modular manufacturing networks through BP nerve network and has carried on the simulation to its achievements. The dissertation finds some elements which limit the development of modular manufacturing networks of shipbuilding industry in China, then this paper provides some ways to enhancing the competitiveness of China's shipbuilding industry on this basis.
