Objective:
This project’s overall goal is to standup a pilot program at each participating shipyard to research how to improve the shipyard efficiencies for higher levels of competitiveness (cost-price and lead-time) through digitization in engineering, organizational, and physical shipbuilding processes using an integrated Shipyard Management Execution System (MES) platform.
Summary:
The project scope will include the following:
- Phase 1
- Develop To-Be process use cases and document workflow
- Develop detail planning output and determine alignment
- Review and refine project requirements
- Phase 2
- Document data exchange protocols
- Review data exchange protocols
- Review and refine project requirements
- Execute automated detail planning for selected block construction
- Demonstrate data exchange with COTS solutions
- Conduct a Final Workshop & Demonstration
- Summarize the results and recommendations in a Final Report
Key Deliverables / Benefits:
- Allow for 90% of relations, dependencies, and constraints within the operational process to be recognized prior to the completion of the engineering model by capturing yard specific value streams
- Final Workshop and Demonstration
- Final report documenting project recommendations
