modern boatyard -part 2

Karnic yacht is using some very advance process to produce their boat. In my opinion it is a very clever way of using CAD tools. as everything is detail in 3D model it is then very easy to control and correct part if something goes wrong in production. The idea of keeping track of every operation and label each part is also great as it certainly add quality to the product and help with after sales.

The investment they made upfront will certainly helps them to develop new model at a cheaper price and because they have record of past model the quality should keep going up.

During development of new yacht the problem is often the lack of history and data which means that very often you need to redeisgn everything from zero as very few components can be reuse from one model to another.

With only 30-35 employees they can produce up to 300 boats per year!

I have learn when working at Jeanneau how to put such kind of process in place and I wish I could help boatyard in Japan and Asia to follow this example and increase their productivity.
