Objective:
The goal of this project is to develop and demonstrate guidance on building useful failure and ship condition data sets for use with advanced data analytics tools to support key decisions related to ship sustainment and new construction of future ships.
Summary:
- Phase 1 will focus on the failure and condition data needed to support the use of advanced data analytics, including the types of data needed, current and future availability of such data, owners of the data and how to access the data, and how to assess/improve the quality of the data.
- Phase 2 will focus on how to use advanced data analytics to support key decisions in yard availability planning/execution and new ship construction based on the types of data addressed in Phase 1, including a roadmap for use of data analysis methods/tools to support various types of decisions and demonstrations of such methods/tools with example data sets.
Key Deliverables / Benefits:
- Reduce the total cost of ownership and improve overall mission operational availability for ships through optimized availability planning.
- ABS Industry Guidance Publication on Leveraging Data Analytics to Optimize Yard Availabilities and Improve New Ship Construction
- Webinar(s) for Government and Industry on Best Practices
- Final Report
