Resumen:
The strong global competition in theshipbuilding market forces the shipyards to focus their efforts in optimizingtheir system resources. Therefore, the development of efficient medium-term andshort-term operation strategies in the shipyard block assembly process isbecoming a potential tool to be more competitive. This paper introduces aheuristic simulation-based approach to address the scheduling problem forshipbuilding in a real-world multi-stage production system. The main goal is tominimize the total production and assembly time of the shipbuilding process(makespan) applying different types of heuristic rules in an advancedsimulation framework. The proposed simulation model allows evaluating theeffective production of a large amount of blocks and sub-blocks, whilesatisfying a large set of hard constraints. Uncertain alternative scenarios aretested and computational statistics are deeply analyzed.
