This research using the method of Elite Interview, Participant Observation, Questionnaire Method. Firstly, there have a analysis for the characteristic of Taiwan shipbuilding production. By the view point of efficiency measurement, the further analysis such as SWOT, Cost basic analysis, building procedure, and outsourcing, will be taken on a few of greatest and good efficient private shipyards and the national owned shipyard China Shipbuilding Company. Meanwhile, the analysis of Taiwan shipbuilding market will be separate into National market, Internal open market and International market, a study for strategic analysis for these markets have been within this paper. For such mentioned state, one of the relative practical management, Outsourcing Management, have be choice for further research. Meanwhile, by means of questionnaire method to find out the influence level of Horizontal Conflict and Vertical Conflict, using the analysis result to compare with the theory¡¦s methods of Coordination and the result of the company¡¦s research. Finally, there have some comments for the shipbuilding production after Taiwan enter WTO and face to the world¡¦s opening market.

The U. S. Navy's surface combatant force is built on a base of about 150 ships. Current projections for surface force commissionings and retirements indicate a need for an affordable variant of the Navy's mainstay battle force surface combatant, DDG 51. Fleet accessions will not keep pace with ship retirements to maintain required force levels unless the acquisition cost of the ships can be reduced. In addition, by also reducing operations and support costs, the Navy can ensure that a low cost alternative to DDG 51 generates cost savings over the entire ship's life cycle. <p>This study has been conducted in an effort to develop a concept design for a low cost surface combatant to be used by the United States Navy as an alternative to DDG 51. The design endeavors to meet stated Navy objectives for surface combatant affordability and capability. <p>Affordability is not simply a function of cost. It is instead a more complex measure which is dependent on factors including unit costs, budgets t and force structures. Thus, changes to any or all of these basic components can alter the affordability definition within any given application or context. The budget and force levels for the next 20 years are projected to decline, while unit costs continue to rise. For this reason, lower cost alternatives must be pursued in order to balance the affordability equation and allow required force levels to be maintained within budgetary constraints. <p>Acquisition cost for a DDG 51 low cost alternative should be less than $2 billion (in FY 91 dollars) for the firs t ship. This high initial cost would be attributed to the research, development, and design costs associated with a new ship design, as well as the actual construction costs for the first ship. Acquisition costs for follow ships should average around $750 million, or $100 million less than DDG 51. Overall life cycle costs should represent at least a 10% improvement over DDG 51. / Master of Science

To show how mass-production principles and welding in shipbuilding altered the economic conditions along the Gulf coast, this investigation relied on a chronological narrative to illustrate the importance of timing in addition to identifying the significant factors causing the changes. The account begins with a description of the Gulf coast shipyards during World War I and ends shortly after World War II. The necessary factors for Gulf coast participation in shipbuilding are developed in two chapters followed by an evaluation of the specific accomplishments of five Gulf coast shipyards during and after World War II. The effects of the changes in the shipyards on labor are also discussed.

The aim of this research is to develop computational tools to predict the large amplitude motions and loads on ships travelling with forward speed in waves. An experimental research programme was completed to validate the non-linear prediction method. In this thesis, the results of theoretical and experimental investigations to predict the non-linear ship motions, slamming pressures and bending moments in regular head seas are presented. The ship hull is considered to be a Timoshenko beam, where the vibratory elastic response of the ship is calculated by the modal superposition method with the solution represented in terms of a series of normal modes. It is assumed that the mode shapes and natural frequencies can be determined by a separate structural analysis where this modal information is appropriate to the vessel in the equilibrium reference condition when floating in calm water. The global dynamic shear force and bending moment values are predicted using two different methods:The first method developed is based on the elastic vibratory response due to the total hydrodynamic force; The other is based on the rigid body response due to the linear force superimposed with the elastic response due to the impact forces. The results by the elastic vibratory response due to the total hydrodynamic force (method 1) have a good agreement with the experimental results and these are much better than the results by the rigid body response superimposed with the elastic response (method 2). The non-linear effects due to the change of the hydrodynamic coefficients and the non-linear restoring force should be considered in the ship motion and load predictions. The nonlinearity of ship motions as well as a significant nonlinearity between the hogging and sagging wave and global bending moments are shown in the results obtained from the non-linear theoretical predictions and the experimental data. The non-linear ship motions and sea loads, predicted by the practical computational tools, newly developed in this thesis, can be used to further ship structural strength analysis and guide ship hull design.

The SWATH ship has been claimed as one of the advanced high performance vessels which can provide good seakeeping characteristics as well as maintaining high speed in rough seas. Despite the considerable amount of research and development carried out in the last fifteen years, there is still a lack of design data in the open literature concerning many of the specialised aspects of SWATH design. Two of these areas are the motion characteristics of hulls which are operating fairly close to the water surface and the design of active control systems to reduce static trim and motions in waves. This study is an investigation, both theoretically and experimentally using a model, into SWATH motion characteristics in the vertical plane. It aims to have an understanding of the seakeeping behaviour with and without the effect of fins in waves. The computer program for the motion prediction involves the computation of the hydrodynamic coefficients of the equations of motion on the practical range of frequencies, depth of submergences and column widths. The effects of these factors on the sectional hydrodynamic coefficients are discussed and are curve-fitted into approximate formulae in order to save computer time. The total (three dimensional) hydrodynamic coefficients are integrated stripwise, taking into account the forward speed and viscous effects. Analytic methods for the wave induced exciting forces were formulated and obtained by two approaches; the modified Morison's formula and the strip theory. The sectional Froude-Krylov force, caused by the undisturbed incident wave pressure and a diffraction component resulting from the distortion of the wave train by the presence of the hull integrated over the mean immersed surface of the hull section. Phase differences of the sectional forces are considered during the integration procedure. The forward speed and viscous effects are included together. In addition, a series of laboratory tests in calm water and waves as well as theoretical studies aimed at the design of vertical-plane control surface (fins), which would keep the SWATH ship on a near level trim at speed in calm water and reducing the inherently low level of motion in wave have been carried out. The forces generated by fins are composed of inertia effects and viscous induced lift and cross-flow drag. Since the fins are attached to the hull, the lift-curve slope were corrected by the fin-body effect. Only after fins are considered in the study, the combination of the forward fins are believed could be summed linearly. However, the downwash effect on the after fins by the forward fins are not able to be included. Since the exciting and restoring forces of a SWATH involved are smaller than those of the comparable monohull, adequate control forces can be generated for a SWATH at speed by reasonably sized fins. The good agreement of the comparisons of the analytical calculations and the experimental measurements confirms the accuracy of the study.
