“…In his research, he assessed the susceptibility of 702 distinct occupations in the United States to automation risks and discovered that over 40% of the current occupations within the country were deemed vulnerable to the impacts of automation. This includes work involving repetitive daily tasks, such as production line work and certain administrative functions [27].…”

The influence of the digital revolution on the labor market is undeniably profound. While much of the existing research has concentrated on the role of digitalization in boosting employment rates, its impact on the long-term sustainability of employment remains largely unexplored. In the context of prevailing uncertainties, the imperative to bolster employment resilience through digitalization becomes increasingly apparent. This study aims to bridge the existing gap by introducing an innovative analytical framework that integrates digitalization, enterprise resilience (ER), and sustainable employment (SE). Focusing on publicly listed companies within China’s manufacturing sector, the research employs fixed effects models and mediation analysis to intricately explore the interactions among these variables. The investigation yields several pivotal insights: (1) digitalization has a significantly positive impact on sustainable employment; (2) enterprise resilience acts as a positive mediator in the relationship between digitalization and sustainable employment; (3) through heterogeneity analysis, it is demonstrated that digitalization plays a more pronounced role in bolstering employment stability in non-high-tech industries and companies exhibiting superior financial health in the eastern region. These findings offer critical perspectives for informing government policy and devising corporate strategies that capitalize on digitalization and enhance enterprise resilience, thereby promoting more sustainable employment trajectories.

“…Ship recycling can be approached as reverse shipbuilding (Alkaner et al, 2006b, Gunbeyaz, 2019, therefore, the productivity issues can be solved imitating the approach of ship building and repair yards. Researchers and industry professionals approached the similar problems for shipbuilding and repair yards through different methodologies and approaches including simulation (Ju et al, 2020, Goo et al, 2019, Woo and Oh, 2018, Basán et al, 2017, Cebral-Fernández et al, 2017, Velumani and Tang, 2017, Prajapat et al, 2016, lean manufacturing (Sharma and Gandhi, 2017, Phogat, 2013, Kristoffersen, 2012, Koenig et al, 2002, or utilisation of technology for digital yards, production network and accurate manufacturing (Sender et al, 2019, Jagusch et al, 2019, Wei et al, 2019, Zhang et al, 2012. However, considering the nature of ship recycling yards, lack of data, and lack of industry-research collaboration, some of these approaches are too advanced for ship recycling industry.…”

Ship recycling has drawn significant attention in the last decade due to the poor work practices in the industry, which led to the development of new international regulations. As a result, the operational costs of a ship recycling yard will increase since the new regulations are require more stringent standards for preserving the occupational and environmental health and safety of the people involved in ship recycling activities. The challenge for the ship recycling industry is to comply with the new regulations while staying profitable. Therefore, improvement of the current operational procedures and current levels of productivity will be critical to survive in a competitive industry dominated by low-cost substandard yards. Therefore, the main aim of this study is to increase the productivity of the ship recycling yard through the improvement of recycling processes. In this study, cutting operation in the secondary zone of a yard is investigated using discrete event simulation approach. Alternative cutting technologies have been tested in a simulation environment in order to assess their impact on production performance and operating costs. This study shows that plasma cutting is a good alternative to oxyfuel cutting in ship recycling and demonstrates that 60% improvement in the throughput can be achieved through the implementation of the tool. Overall research conducted in this study will be significant contribution to the maritime literature as a novel approach for modelling ship recycling processes and for the implementation of cutting technologies to operations.

Thanks to recent technological innovations, some large-volume-metrology measuring instruments—that would have been considered out of context one/two decades ago—are now effective for the shipbuilding industry, where dimensional errors of a few millimetres are generally tolerated. This paper considers three state-of-the-art instruments: a laser tracker, a total station, and a laser scanner, all with the latest generation of technology. While the first instrument type has long been widespread for applications in industrial metrology, the last two have traditionally been used in other fields, such as as-built surveying, civil engineering, architecture and topography. Instruments are compared using experimental tests concerning the dimensional verification of cruise-ship modules in the relatively under-explored context of the construction of the hull, which represents the ship’s framework. The comparison is structured based on several qualitative and quantitative criteria, including but not limited to (i) simplicity of use for operator(s), (ii) time of acquisition/analysis of measurement data, (iii) metrological performance, and (iv) cost. The main contribution of this article is the on-site testing of instruments of interest, in the typical (unfavourable) working conditions of shipyards.
