SHIP DESIGN METHODS
INTRODUCTION
• Most practicing ship designers probably do not think too much
about why they prepare ship designs the way they do.
• They probably learned it by following a mentor early in their
careers.
• Academics that teach ship design need to document the
different approaches and even give their students an opinion on
which is better.
• Fortunately, there has been considerable research into design in
all disciplines over the past few decades and they can be
examined and tested in the context of ship design.
• The presentation will try to frame some of them again in the
context of ship design by specifically addressing the topics
listed in the contents.

WHAT IS DESIGN?
• Today there is still a general lack of understanding of the
essence of design.
• Design is the arrangement of elements that go into human
productions.
• Design is not a body of knowledge. It is the activity that
integrates the existing bodies of knowledge, to achieve a given
outcome.
• Design is a highly manipulative activity in which the designer
has to continuously and simultaneously pay attention to, and
balance, several factors that influence the design outcome.
• To design is to invent.
• To design is to make decisions.
8/4/04 5
SHIP DESIGN METHODS
WHAT IS DESIGN? (Continued)
• Because of the incompleteness of knowledge at the different

design stages when decisions are being made, it is traditional to
reexamine them at subsequent points in time when more
knowledge is developed.
• This process of reexamination is the traditional iterative nature

of design and is recognized as an integral part of the process.
• However, there are ways to design that eliminate the need for
iteration and thus save design time and effort.

THEORY VERSUS PRACTICE

“A debate currently rages in the engineering design community
as to whether design should be taught primarily by
establishing a foundation of theory or by engaging students in
loosely supervised practice. For the broader activity of
product design and development, we reject both approaches
when taken to their extremes. Theory without practice is
ineffective because there are many nuances, exceptions and
subtleties to be learned in practical settings and because some
necessary tasks simply lack any theoretical underpinnings.
Practice without guidance can too easily result in frustration
and fails to exploit the knowledge that successful product
development professionals and researchers have accumulated
over time.”
8/4/04 7
SHIP DESIGN METHODS
THEORY VERSUS PRACTICE (Continued)

Today there are still strong defenders of both extremes.
• However, it is likely that over time the theory approach will
prevail.
• This will be aided by the needs of computer applications in
design, in that computers are still dumb machines, and
require process classification and principles in order for
them to be programmed.
• One reason that the theory of design has developed so
slowly (it was first proposed in the late 1950s) is that most
engineers do not receive formal education in design.
8/4/04 8

THEORY VERSUS PRACTICE (Continued)

• That this is so is validated from the fact that the NAS
Engineering Education Report (NAS, 1995) states many
times that design theory and practice are lacking from
current curriculums and need to be an integral part of all
future engineering undergraduate education.
• Another reason is the very wide range of products and
services provided by engineers prevents the agreement of a
universal theory of design and will probably never happen.
• Rather each branch of engineering will develop its own
specific theory of design.
• We are close today on reaching a theory of ship design that
will be acceptable to most ship designers.
8/4/04 9
SHIP DESIGN METHODS
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DESIGN AND ENGINEERING

Engineering is a very misused word.
• It can be used to describe, a profession, the process of
developing a design into working instructions, and a type of
manufacturing
• We will be considering the second case only.
• One of the earliest definitions of Engineering, from the Charter
of the Institution of Civil Engineers is “ the art of directing the
great sources of power in nature for the use and convenience of
man.”
• In Architecture, architects design the building but engineers do
the analysis and construction details.
• Another idea was offered by Dr. S. Erichsen and is
“Designers create and Engineers analyze.”

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DESIGN AND ENGINEERING

(Continued)
• Some people see Design as a part of Engineering.
• In this sense they see some engineers design and some analyze
the design of others.
• I prefer to separate them because they use different approaches

and have different goals.
• So for the remainder of this presentation:

Design decides all technical matters
Engineering develops and documents the design to enable
its manufacture.
8/4/04 11
SHIP DESIGN METHODS
WHAT DO WE MEAN BY DESIGN PROCESS?

• By Process we refer to a series of actions or operations
conducing to an end.
• In reference to design process it is interchangeable with
Methodology.
• Both process and methodology thus are procedures for
completing activities.
• The procedures are structured, that is a step by step description
and a framework or template for the key information and
decision making.
• Some people think such structuring constrains innovation and
creativity. In actual fact it saves time which in turn can be
used to develop innovative and creative solutions.
8/4/04 12

WHAT DO WE MEAN BY DESIGN PROCESS? (Continued)
• Documented design processes provide the following advantages:

- The process is made explicit. It is known to everyone,
allowing an understanding of the design rationale and
reducing the possibility of proceeding with unsupported
decisions.
- Ensures that important design issues are considered.
- Structured processes are largely self-documenting; in the
process of executing the process a record of the decisions
is created, for future reference and for educating new
designers.
- Standardization within companies and even industries.
8/4/04 13
SHIP DESIGN METHODS
• All design has a process, either by desire or by accident.

• A good process, if followed, will produce an effective design for
the minimum of effort and in the shortest time.
• Practitioners of ship design have developed design processes over
many years.
• The process can be a learning tool thus saving new designers
time.
• When performed on the computer, this process is blurred by
speed, but the process is still there, imbedded in the program.
8/4/04 14

• Documented design processes usually have developed over time

by trial are error and the best (efficient in effort and duration) is
reached by evolution.
• Some developers of such processes for ship design have

presented their processes in technical books and papers.
• There are exceptions to the gradual evolution approach by

developers who applied Systems Engineering approaches to
develop requirements for and a solution for the ship design
process and they are include in the references.

(Continued)
Here the Process comprises of
a number of steps wherein the
main phases include clarifying
the task, conceptual design,
embodiment design and
detailed design. At every step
a decision must b made as to
whether the next step can be
taken or whether previous
steps need to be repeated.

GENERIC DESIGN March’s Model

APPROACHES
(Continued)
This model recognizes the
solution focused nature of
design thinking. The phase of
productive reasoning draws on
a preliminary statement of
requirements, and some
presuppositions about solution
types, in order to conceive a
potential design proposal.
From this proposal it is
possible to analyze
deductively the performance of
the candidate solution. Finally
the predicted performance
characteristics of the design it
is possible to evaluate
inductively further alternatives.

SET-BASED DESIGN
Set-Based Design is a term describing a process in which

“designers…must draw inferences about sets of artifacts
(physical objects) under sets of operating conditions; they cannot
simply simulate or analyze single, completely specified designs.”
This contrasts iterative, or point-to-point, approaches which

synthesize a single solution and then evolve the design through a
series of analyses, evaluations and modifications.

SET-BASED DESIGN (Continued)
• Posing alternative design solutions as sets, as opposed to point
solutions.
• Deferred commitment in general, with or without explicit
specification of sets defining the design space, the timing of
which requires knowledge of the supplier lead times associated
with the decision deferred.
• Design structure matrix for use when a specific design
direction has been established or alternatives are being explored.
• Design redundancy when task sequence cannot be structured to
avoid iterative loops and team problem solving is not feasible.

SHIP DESIGN APPROACHES

• For over three decades the Design Spiral has been used by
many designers to describe and develop a process. It is
inherently iterative in concept with the goal to zero in on a
single solution as quickly as possible.
• I prefer, and have used all my design life the Design Bounding
approach.
• In the last decade the Set Based Design approach, accredited to

Toyota, has been offered as the best approach.

IMPACT OF COMPUTERS ON DESIGN

Some people claim that computers eliminated the need for a
design process.
• In actual fact, where there was no process documentation, it
was necessary that processes be developed as a way to define
the flow of information.
• While a user of a design synthesis program may not see or
understand the process used by the program, it is there.
• Because of the speed of computations the computer can
perform in a millisecond what took days and even weeks
manually.
• This does not eliminate the need for a process that is efficient
in operation.
8/4/04 39
SHIP DESIGN METHODS
SYSTEMS ENGINEERING
• In recent years some proponents of Systems Engineering have
proposed its use almost as if it was a design approach. While Total
Design has always considered both the design of individual systems
and the integration of the systems, systems engineering does not
include the design, only the organization and management of the
design.
• Systems Engineering (SE) developed because of two reasons. The
first is that engineers in the U.S. had become so specialized (F.
Taylor approach - Scientific Management) and that someone needed
to take the responsibility for the total system (Completed Product).
In the case of ships the naval architect always had this responsibility
and still maintains it in most shipbuilding countries. However, in
the U.S., the naval architects allowed this responsibility to be taken
away from them. The second reason is that some systems have
become so complex that a better way to design and manage the
design has become essential.
8/4/04 40
SHIP DESIGN METHODS

SYSTEMS ENGINEERING (Continued)

• SE is a process not an engineering discipline.
• Design is a decision making process and the selection of

design parameters represents decisions. Therefore, SE is a
design management process.
• It should be obvious that as SE is a structured approach, its

successful implementation is even more dependent, than less
structured approaches, that a structured approach to its
management is available and used.
8/4/04 41
SHIP DESIGN METHODS

• SE has received its impetus from the defense industries in a
number of countries. The U.S. Navy has focused on it as a
primary need for future design teams. So much so that it is a
specific Program at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey
California and a new program is being offered at UNO.
• SE is a recently labeled approach to the design, analysis and
management of complex products. However, it is not new.
Most writers on the subject trace its origins back to World War
II, but in actual fact it goes way back before then. Most of the
publications on the subject have been developed very recently,
but some of the earlier books go back to 1959 and 1967.
• A draft MIL-STD (499) was prepared in 1974 and it formed the
foundation for EIA 632 Standard, Process for Engineering a
System (1994).
8/4/04 42
SHIP DESIGN METHODS
21
• Some proponents of SE see it as a panacea for handling
complex products. However, for a long time the marine
industry has produced some of the most complex and
largest products in the world. Dr. John van Griethuysen
has stated that:
In many ways systems engineering is no more than a
generalized model of, and framework for thinking about,
the engineering process, which needs tailoring to be
applicable to a particular product and project. It is
therefore self-evident that marine products have always
been designed and produced using a form of "systems
engineering" even if those particular words were rarely
used. It is also true that much of naval architecture and
marine engineering concerned with design and
management is undoubtedly an example of systems
engineering.

SHIP DESIGN METHODS

• Current trends indicate that in general, the complexity of systems is
increasing with the introduction of new technologies. In todays
environment, there is an ever increasing need to develop and produce
systems that meet the customer’s requirements, are robust in nature,
reliable and of high quality, supportable and cost effective.
• SE is an orderly way of bringing systems into being and achieving
this.
• SE is the effective application and engineering efforts to transform an
operational need into a defined system configuration through the top
down iterative process of requirements analysis, functional analysis
and allocation, synthesis, design optimization, test and evaluation and
validation.
• SE is intended to ensure the development of affordable systems that
completely meet the customer’s requirements.
8/4/04 46
SHIP DESIGN METHODS
23
• SE is good engineering with certain designated areas of
emphasis – top down approach – life cycle orientation – better
initial design requirement definition – team approach
• A ship is composed of many systems often with conflicting
requirements. Some people look at it as a system of systems.
• SE focuses on managing the design of systems and on systems
analysis.
• Managing the design of systems covers the process of
developing systems into new products
• Systems analysis covers the improvement of existing systems.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NAVAL SHIP AND COMMERCIAL,

AND U.S. AND REST OF WORLD SHIP DESIGN
• Number of designers and man-hours significantly different – at
least by a factor of 10.
• Commercial and naval ships have significantly different scopes at
early stages such as Concept and Preliminary. A naval ship
Concept Design is more like a commercial Preliminary Design.
• Commercial shipowners do not pay for pre-award design effort
(except where, for some reason, they go to a Design Agent).
• The U.S. ship designers, generally, prepare many more documents
for Contract Design than most other shipbuilding countries.
• Normal U.S. Contract Design for commercial ship would consist of
up to 40 drawings and 800 page specification. Rest of the world
would have 3 to 6 drawings and 10 to 100 page specification.
• This is a hang over from the MarAd days when they were the
contractors and administrators of the U.S. commercial shipbuilding
program as well as the focus on naval ship design.
8/4/04 53
SHIP DESIGN METHODS
TOOLS TO ASSIST SHIP DESIGN
• Early computer based tools were for calculations, such as

hydrostatics and stability.
• Today we have design synthesis (ASSET and Michigan SDS),
analysis (FEM, CFD, Safehull, Mystro), Surface Modeling
(Rhinoceros), CAD (AutoCad, Fast ship, MacSurf, TRIBON)
and CAE (CALMA).
• Many design tools have a link to design management and
production tools.
• Problem is how to teach latest design tools to students (not
enough time or interest by faculty).
• Student Friendly Software Project will have a beneficial
impact on this problem.

entrenched over decades. Also based on understanding
that there are many users of the design information.

NEEDED TOOLS
You would think after all the years we would have great ship
design tools. However, we are mostly dissatisfied with what we
have and are seeking better. The U.S. Navy has identified many
inadequacies.
•ONR project to integrate stand alone tools with a multivariate
Optimization Tool shows that there is a need – we do not have
the tools we need yet.
•Need a good naval ship mission analyses/effectiveness tool.
•Need a better cost estimating tool.
•Need a life-cycle design tool.
