Measurement and Evaluation Model of Shipbuilding Production Efficiency

How to evaluate the level of the production efficiency and the changes of productivity is important for the shipyard improvement and survive. The efficiency of the shipyard is comprehensively affected by the managing, technical activities and product mix. The causes of inefficiency are hidden somewhere inside of the production system. From these points of view, the Efficiency Measurement Model of the general assembly shipbuilding production is developed based on the production system breakdown structures. By this model, the organization efficiency, activity efficiency and product efficiency can be measured by corresponding efficiency indicators reflecting the efficiency level or the productivity changes all over the production system. The empirical application shows this model is a suitable approach to analyze the efficiency of the general assembly shipbuilding production system in finding the inner causes of inefficiency and the proper measures to improve the production efficiency.
