Abstract

Establishing newbuilding production costs structure represents a fundamental management activity, concerning materials and fabrication in shipbuilding. Shipyards are competing in world market niches, regarding vessel types and dimensions. Therefore, vessel's market price has a tremendous influence at shipyard's determination of vessel price offered to buyers. For this reason shipyard management is forced to concentrate its effort to act upon newbuilding production costs structure optimisation as to achieve the goal of profitable shipyard enterprise. In this paper, a computer integrated mathematical model of costing engineering of vessel production founded by authors is presented. Model concept is based on both, functional and technological, vessel breakdown structures. Statistical analysis of data was perf
