Applying TRIZ Theory to improve the marine Stern Tube assembling-A Case Study of Shipbuilding Company / 運用萃思方法改善船舶艉軸管安裝作業 -以某造船公司為例

碩士 / 國立高雄應用科技大學 / 工業工程與管理系碩士在職專班 / 102 / Due to the lack of resources, Taiwan mainly makes a living by global trading. No matter resources are imported or products are exported, 99 percent of them rely on shipping. In other words, shipping industry plays an extremely important part in Taiwanese economy. With the strong connection with the shipping industry, shipbuilding industry has also developed well in Taiwan. However, on the other hand, the growing trend of shipbuilding business largely depends on shipping market. In recent years, the delivery numbers of new-building vessels have dropped dramatically on account of the downturn in shipping business. Because of this, there is no shipyard to avoid keen competition. To grab orders, the most effective way is to lower the prices and costs. As a result, they are the goals that every major shipyard has been struggling for.
The installment and alignment of propulsion shafting system is one of the most critical steps in shipbuilding process. This thesis focuses on the installment of Stern Tube which is one of the tasks in shafting installment. The traditional way to set up Stern Tube needs more labor input. Not only that, during the course of processing, it requires large boring machinery which generate noise harmful for workers’ physical and mental conditions. This thesis first utilizes Problem Hierarchy Analysis of TRIZ theory in redefining the problem before using problem solving methods, including Technical and Physical Contradiction and Substance-Field Analysis, to work out the feasible solutions. Then, after refining and analyzing the feasible solutions, the feasible solutions were carried out and then an “integrated Stern Tube” was created, which decrease 49 percent of the cost and 71 percent of the work period in a dock. This means that the new technique makes it possible for a shipyard to enhance its capacity of building vessels as well as lower the noise effectively. As a result, these improvements add up to a friendlier working environment and lead to a win-win situation between workers and management.
