The document discusses various breakdown structures used in shipbuilding, including group technology, work breakdown structures (WBS), product breakdown structures, and interim product catalogs. It states that while many shipyards say they use group technology, they typically only implement classification and coding systems rather than true group technology. The document also explains different types of WBS including standard, group technology, and custom, and notes that a product-oriented WBS combines the product, work, and organization. It provides examples of a product structure, indented bill of materials, and WBS for shipbuilding.

MODERN SHIPBUILDING PRACTICE

GROUP TECHNOLOGY/PWBS/IPC
GT is not new
Has only had limited application in shipyards.
Typical uses have been structural part variety reduction and
development of pipe piece families.
Many shipyards say they use it but they only think so as they use
Work Breakdown Structures, classification and coding. This is
not GT.
GT is necessary if a shipyard wants to utilize automated pipe
shop, Computer Aided Process Planning and/or robotics.
However, GT is not for everyone. It should not be used unless a
clear understanding of why they need it.
Many people need a classification and coding system but not
GT.

MODERN SHIPBUILDING PRACTICE

GROUP TECHNOLOGY/PWBS/IPC (Continued)


Work Breakdown Structures (WBS) have been used for many
years in many industries.
WBSs are a convenient method to show desired tasks and/or
processes to be used to build a product.
A WBS can be Custom, Group Technology or Standard based.
Custom based is when the product and its components are all
different and no attempt is made to group the tasks or processes.
Group Technology based is when, even though the end
products may be different the tasks or processes can be group
into similar categories based on work requirements.
Standard based is when the product is completely made up of
standard components in the same way every time.

GROUP TECHNOLOGY/PWBS/IPC (Continued)


A Product Breakdown Structure is a graphic representation of an
indented Bill of Material, where the indentations reflect the
order in which the components are assembled.
The term Product-oriented Work Breakdown Structure (PWBS)
refers to the specific case where the product, work and
organization are combined into a system to address a specific
industrial product, like ships.
The concept was introduced into U.S. shipbuilding by the IHI
Technology Transfer in 1982 by the NSRP Report Productoriented Work Breakdown Structure.
Since then most U.S. shipbuilders have adopted the concept to
some level, but not to the extent or the way that the report
described. In fact the report is confusing in many ways and has
caused implementers considerable trouble.

GROUP TECHNOLOGY/PWBS/IPC (Continued)


A PWBS can be one of the most important tools in a shipyards
attempt to improve its performance. This is because when it is
developed correctly and applied to assist in the integration of the
many systems in a shipyard, the benefits are significant.
Some shipyards develop a more detailed breakdown in the form
of an Interim Product Catalog. The catalog can range from a
few basic interim product types to a very comprehensive catalog
of all parts through to erection. It can also identify work stations
and processes used to manufacture the interim products as well
as manhour budget and manning.

BREAKDOWN STRUCTURES
A breakdown structure is a structured representation of
hierarchical information related to products of work.
Bills of Material (BOM) are tabular representations of the
components that are required to assemble a product. BOM can
be simple sequential lists of all material or they can be indented
to represent what components go into higher level components.
A PRODUCT Structure (PS) is formed by making a hierarchical
tree in place of the indented BOM. For convenience it is usually
turned 90 degrees to present a vertical cascade.

WORK BREAKDOWN STRUCTURE


Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) have been used for many
years in many industries
WBS are a convenient way to show desired tasks and/or
processes to be used to build a product
A WBS can be standard, group technology or custom based
Standard is when the product is completely made up of standard
components I the same way every time.
Group technology is when, even though the end products may be
different, the tasks or processes can be grouped into similar categories
based on work requirements.
Custom is when the product and its components are all different and no
attempt is made to group the tasks or processes.

WORK BREAKDOWN STRUCTURE (continued)


There are many other types of breakdown structures used in a
shipyard such as Labor Charging Structure and Cost Accounting
Structure.
Combining product and work in the same breakdown structure is
illogical and confusing.
However, there is normally a relationship between the product,
the work that is required to manufacture it and the stage in the
overall process at which it is done. If these standard
relationships are identified and documented in an Interim
Product Catalog, then only the product structure is required to
identify the work required to produce the product. The work
and stage naturally fall out of the system.

MODERN SHIPBUILDING PRACTICE

WORK BREAKDOWN STRUCTURE (continued)


A WORK Breakdown Structure (WBS) is a hierarchical
representation of the work that is required to produce a product
or interim product.
A WBS divides the total work into all the tasks to be
accomplished in building a product. The tasks are arranged
showing their dependencies of the sequence in which they
should be performed.

OTHER BREAKDOWN STRUCTURES


Product Breakdown Structures (PBS) is a graphic representation
of an indented bill of material, where the indentations reflect the
order in which the components are assembled.
The term Product-Oriented Work Breakdown Structure (PWBS)
refers to the specific case where the product, work and
organization are combined into a single system to address a
specific industrial product, like a ship.
Since the PWBS concept was introduced into U.S. shipbuilding
by the 1982 NSRP Report, most shipbuilders have adopted the
concept to some level, but not to the level suggested by the
NSRP report.
