Analysis by the information tools hierarchy method in providing cost calculations in civil shipbuilding

Currently, the development of shipbuilding is one of the critically important areas of Russia's industrial policy. According to the “Strategy for the development of the shipbuilding industry for the period up to 2035”, optimization of production facilities, their modernization and technical re-equipment, among others, are identified as its key tasks. The issue of digitalization of shipbuilding design is relevant, namely, the development and implementation of effective digital tools for the modernization and development of work on the design of shipbuilding facilities in terms of work on determining the cost of their construction and preparation of feasibility studies. The article considers the creation of a concept for the structure of digital tools to ensure the production of cost calculations in the process of designing civil shipbuilding facilities. A comprehensive analysis of the digitalization processes of the industry and the dynamics of the development of regulatory and methodological support for calculating the cost of designed products made it possible to formulate the key advantages of introducing digital technologies in the paradigm of digital transformation of shipbuilding, as well as to justify the expediency of searching and developing relevant digital tools in ensuring production processes in shipbuilding, in particular when preparing cost calculations for projected facilities. The choice of the most effective concept of an information tool in providing cost calculations for projected objects in the field of civil shipbuilding was carried out using the hierarchy analysis method. The criteria by which an effective alternative was chosen are formulated, three possible alternatives of an information tool in providing cost calculations for projected objects in the field of civil shipbuilding are considered.
