Logistic challenges
R&D- initiative
• Use of simulation/ optimization models for analysing alternative
logistic solutions from the design phase
• Development of dedicated production lines for industrial
fabrication of parts and for partial assembling (ex. Aker Solution
Verdal)
• Development of assembling site on shore: large areas able too
manage massive weight and big dimensions
• Maritime operations with customized ships
There are areas where constructors, suppliers and academicians should work
together on analyzing the concept. New R&D initiatives should be put into
practice in order to strengthen the theoretical foundation.

Conclusions from the project
 Old and pollutive fleet serving coastal cargo
 Many small shipping firms (average 2 ships per
company)
 Low capacity utilization of fleet (ca 67%)
 Many ports and several trade flows
 Uneven trade flows between regions
 Different taxation systems in ports
 Ineffective infrastructure (to and from ports)

Lean shipbuilding
 Project in collaboration with Fafo, DTU (Danish
Technological University), Ulstein shipyard, Aker Yards
Langsten and Brattvåg
 Scope: to develop the concept called Lean Shipbuilding
 Challenges within shipbuilding
 Planning which activities to complete in a dynamic and flexible
environment
 Activities are often not completed as planned and are moved to the
subsequent phase
 Such disturbances result in a significant increase of the total costs for
the project, task congestion, late delivery, etc

Results and recent activities
 Article: “State-of-the-art. Lean shipbuilding in
Norway” Oddmund Oterhals and Karolis Dugnas
(IGLC conference proceedings, Manchester, 2008)
 Collaboration on several master theses
 Possibility for a new project at STX Europe
 Improving information flow between Norwegian and
Romanian shipyards
 Develop new business models through applying leagile
thinking
 Achieve more flexibility in construction processes

Managerial implications/Further Research
 Forecasting:
- Combine both causal and quantitative methods
- Forecast at the aggregate level
- Calculate and apply trend and seasonal factors (Holt-Winters smoothing)
- Optimize α and N values when applying ES or MA methods respectively
 Inventory management
- EOQ method gives general guidelines, values have to be adjusted (Knapsack problem)
- Be aware of optimal order cycles (significant deviation was observed)
- Shorten lead times if possible
 Key Performance Indicators
- Apply optimal service level for different products (stock-out costs have to be weighted against
keeping inventory)
- Standardize use of KPI’s
