Requirement Management in Ship Design
How can new ships be designed to better fulfil
the logistic systems requirement and contribute
to a competitive Short Sea Shipping?
Competitive power of short sea shipping
The congested situation of the European road
network is an urgent issue on the EU-agenda and
shipping- based intermodal transportation has
been suggested as one remedy. A lack of
performance measures covering the whole transport
chain complicates the effort for an efficient
intermodal service. A systematic requirement
management process and can be used as a base
when developing ships and ship equipment suited
for short sea shipping in intermodal transport
chains

Requirement management in ship design
Logistics

• Two descriptive studies mapping the logistic
  requirements in intermodal transport chains from
  a goods flow perspective
• One descriptive study analysing the possible
  conflicts between a goods flow perspective and
  internal firm perspective
• One descriptive study highlighting the need for
  innovations in shipping and possible
  complications
• One prescriptive study analysing the
  preconditions for innovative ship designs and
  further refining how the logistic systems
  requirements can be allocated to the ship and
  managed throughout the design process
• Evaluation of the possible benefits for the
  innovation process of applying this Systems
  Engineering based methodology and terminology in
  shipping firms

Methodology for analysis of requirements
Knowledge of capabilities for innovation
Mapping of systematic process for NPD in shipping

• Identify logistic performance parameters, against
  which any component in the logistic system can be
  evaluated
• Show the relation between system design and
  system performance
• Develop a methodology for requirements trade-off
  in ship design
• Be beneficial for the innovative design of
  cost-effective ships and ship systems and thereby
  contribute to the competitiveness of short sea
  shipping

• Research Questions
• How can the logistic requirements be captured?
• How can logistic systems requirement be allocated
  to a single ship and managed in throughout the
  design process?
• Is there a conflict between the goods flow
  requirements and the internal firm requirements,
  and if so how can that be managed?
• Can a methodology for trade offs between
  requirements be useful in innovative ship design?
• Is there any systematic process for New Product
  Development that are suitable for ship design?
• What capabilities are necessary for innovative
  ship design?
