Construction Cost Estimation on the Initial Design Stage of Naval Ships based on a Product Configuration Model

Abstract Many manufacturers define the system of a new product flexibility, and take advantage of previous-product information using the product configuration concept. Product configuration is an approach that defines the system of a new product centered on the product structure by referring to the previous-product information. In this paper, it is established how to apply the concept of a product configuration utilizing previous-ships information in construction cost estimation process systematically and effectively. For this, we define the advanced-construction cost estimation process based on a naval ship product model, and design construction cost estimating model. I t is validated that this process and model have the applicability through the case study of the construction cost estimating of the mine-warfare ship. ※Keywords: Product configuration model(제품구성 모델), Product structure(제품구조), Naval ship product model(함정 제품모델), Construction cost estimation(건조공수 추정) 접수일: 2009년2월26일, 승인일: 2009년6월1일 g교신저자: dk5@snu.ac.kr, 02-882-3563
