Working towards a more cost-efficient way to recycle ships in an organised and sustainable way

Proof of principle
A TRL is a measure to indicate the matureness of a developing technology. When an innovative idea is discovered it is often not directly suitable for application. Usually such novel idea is subjected to further experimentation, testing and prototyping before it can be implemented. The image below shows how to read TRL’s to categorise the innovative ideas.

Why?
Due to the recent implementations of lean and other principles in the Dutch shipbuilding industry, much more data on the shipyard processes has become available. The same can be seen at suppliers and co-makers. Integration of this data will allow simulations to test different forms of working together, optimising the construction process.

When?
Unlike earlier research on integral cooperation, impact should be expected within the next 5 years, as the work will support and facilitate discussions on this subject.
