Abstract

As is well known the concepts of the overall design are : design for production and performance; design for minimum weight; design for minimum cost; design for operation and design for repair and maintenance. However, the main goal of our paper is to deal with the design for production and performance Two main important principles of design for production and performance are considered in this developed research. Those two principles are, the available characteristics of the workshop facilities and the concept of simplicity. The paper terminates with a case study for the application of the design for production and performance in building steel body of a floating unit in order to illustrate the potential of the proposed concept using the current facilities of Egyptian workshops for manufacturing such structures.
