At your systems which *do* have shipyards, I should imagine.
Then you have to take time to transfer them to the front.  If you're
playing with the three-months-per-turn scale and in the GZGverse or
anything remotely like it, it will take less than 1 turn for ships to
make the transit.
Of course, it depends on what you're assuming about scale.  It sounds
as if you are thinking of build rates from a strategic scale (eg 3
months), but a time frame that's more suited to a campaign

<grin> "Shows commendable initiative."
Of course, you could make a strong case for "the organizer did not
have a regrettable accident" as being equivalent to "the organizer had
at least tacit Imperial approval"

Why are you assuming that the ship building is done without government
