Boat Manufacture and Consulting
 
 

Boat Manufacture can be a complex undertaking.

The range of possibilities for Boat Manufacture is from a one man operation which produces a low number of products sometimes of excellent quality to a complex high volume multi product production company employing many people.
Often a boat building operation starts small, then becomes more successful and grows into something much larger requiring many different operating skills.

It's a natural path for a successful company but can be a difficult and perilous journey.
The one man operation is usually fairly straightforward and most people who use this route are usually skilled tradesmen and boat builders, who with a bit of luck and judgement can find sufficient work to adequately pay their way and make a living.

  • Where the operation becomes more successful and begins to employ people the business changes.
  • Dependent upon which part of the world the operation is conducted many things are involved.
  • Perhaps there is a need for not only production personnel but design and development, administrative, purchasing, testing staff etc to be employed.
  • As the boats become bigger and more complex they also become much more demanding in the areas of production management, efficiency, costings, training of new personel, training for new operations and techniques.
  • What started as a small one man operation can become a large complex of people and opportunities for profit or loss.
  • Consider a few figures in a 35 foot power cabin cruiser.
  • There will be between approximately 750 to 2000 man hours involved
  • Maybe 800 different operations
  • Perhaps 1000 - 2000 parts.
  • A complicated situation which needs to be brought under control in order for the money making to continue!
