New Concept of Quality Management in Shipbuilding

Abstract:

Fabrication in shipbuilding faces important requirements from the quality point of view, due to potential risks specific to the exploitation of the naval structures. Quality Management becomes important tool to reduce the susceptibility to failure of different components of the structures. Specific processes are involved in shipbuilding and the Quality Management should address all of them. Inspection Test Plan (ITP) should be the first step of the Quality Management and that step is previous to any action related to fabrication. Sometimes, that step is necessary to be done even before the design of the naval structure. The most important processes which are required to answer to the ITP are welding, testing of welds, treating distortions and painting. For each of them, qualification of personnel, qualification of the involved procedures, qualifications of the materials and consumables should be evaluated. Operational procedures for every step of the fabrication and for auxiliary operations should be elaborated, discussed and approved by the Quality Manager.
