Overview of Planning and Ship Designing Process at Tsuneishi Technical Services Philippines, Inc.

by: Vance S. Madelo  

Construction of a ship involves tens of thousands of drawing plans before physical works commence because every customer has unique needs for each ship ordered. TTSP seriously takes the customer requirements into consideration and treat these as critical input data into the planning and designing process. In the downstream level of ship designing, planning involves drawing plans that take into account the minutest details of each ship section. Detailed designs of ship sections include its electrical systems, piping systems, outfitting of machineries and equipment, interior accommodation works, ship completion, and painting plans that are integrated into the ship as a whole. Each section is dedicated to specialized design groups in cross-functional collaboration with each other.

With “cost-efficiency” being part of its corporate vision, TTSP is further involved in production planning and design, scrutinized purchase and utilization of raw materials in order to manage costs and minimize production wastage. In addition, detailed plans for organizing yard works, optimized steel sheets nesting-cutting, and lofting are included in TTSP’s services and support to shipyard production. These tasks are designated to its Hull Production and Hull Construction Design groups which are further sub-divided into teams. Detail activities of these design teams are specified in the Design Services section of the TTSP website.
