Impact of Technology Changes on Shipyard Cost Competitive Position (CCP)
Increasing shipyard productivity is one of the most important factors to improve its Cost Competitive Position (CCP). There are many factors affecting shipyards productivity such as shipyard management competence, levels of applied technology, and workers efficiency. For low productivity and low man-hour-cost shipyards it may be conceived that technological change is the best way to increase productivity and hence CCP. This is due to the simplicity of observing a very low level of technology applied in those shipyards.This paper presents a proposed study of the impact of technology development on the CCP of shipyards. First the effect of changing technology on shipyards productivity has been investigated so as to evaluate the change in productivity. Then secondly, the study is extended to cover views of economics of technological changes. Third, the investigated of factors affecting the increasing in man-hour-cost of a shipyard, due to changes, such as initial cost, lifetime, salvage value, number of workers, and interest rates are also demonstrated. Finally, the impact of change of technology on CCP improvement has been concluded.
