1. Executive Summary
Marine projects demand sophisticated design capabilities staggering amounts of data and documents, complex schedules, and huge quantities of materials and resources. To make matters worse, these resources are evolving and changing throughout the shipbuilding process as part of a dynamic workflow that demands tight coordination between internal and external parties. In order to succeed under these conditions, shipyards must have highly developed capabilities for generating, coordinating and managing this complex equation of information, materials allocation and resource availability within the contractually agreed time schedules and costs. The ideal marine design and management solution must include a business support system that fully integrates and maintains consistency between all the dimensions of the operation and throughout the shipbuilding process. With the acquisition of the MARS process management software in 2010, AVEVA extended its shipbuilding portfolio to include all key design and management capabilities essential for the creation of a comprehensive marine solution. Designed specifically for the shipbuilding industry, AVEVA MARS optimises project control, logistics and materials management, as well as resource and production planning. The timely availability of accurate material and production information has been shown to dramatically improve productivity and profitability, reducing overall production cost and project build time. The addition of the AVEVA MARS products into the AVEVA Marine portfolio creates an unmatched, world-class engineering and information management offering specifically for the marine industry, with integrated planning for design and production, materials control and project management.

This lack of integration is often caused by the use of generic PLM software and other technology not designed to meet the needs of the shipbuilding industry. What may seem a cost-effective solution can demand extensive customisation, which ultimately provides a less than optimised system at a very high total cost of ownership. For the executive management team charged with making critical business decisions, the consequences of a poorly integrated information management system can have a direct impact on the bottom line. Business risk is dramatically increased when decisions are made using incomplete or inaccurate information. The competitiveness of a shipyard is seriously impaired and the overall agility of the organization is compromised. Poor decisions and systemic inefficiencies can cost a shipyard hundreds of thousands of dollars in rework and missed opportunities. The AVEVA Solution AVEVA provides the industrys most complete and fully integrated shipbuilding solution. Designed specifically for the marine industry, and with decades of proven success, the AVEVA Marine portfolio offers an unmatched range of design, process control and information management capability. Ensuring that information is available and accessible underpins the entire architecture of the AVEVA solution. Using tools such as a user-definable management dashboard, executive decision makers not only have the access they need to monitor and measure project and information status, but can also be alerted to potential issues the moment they arise. This allows them to manage by exception, supporting early and informed decisions that reduce the operational risk to their shipyard, and ensure a rapid return on investment through major cost savings.

Operational Realities Within many shipyards the cost estimation and tendering process can be complex and time consuming. A lack of computerized and consistent information can make a company highly dependent on key individuals, and the absence of a well documented process obstructs the integration with planning, procurement and supply chain management. Those shipyards with a less systematic approach to tendering can suffer inefficiencies during each proposal, since they cannot easily draw on past estimates and experience for future projects. The consequence can be a rigid and manpower-intensive process that produces a less than optimised proposal. Changes are very time consuming and costly, restricting a shipyards ability to respond to project opportunities, and reducing its overall competitiveness. The AVEVA Solution Using a fully integrated shipbuilding model, the AVEVA solution directly addresses systemic weaknesses that so often compromise the tendering and business capture process. AVEVA delivers a consistent cost management solution that takes into account all relevant cost elements, from early estimation and pre-calculation through future projects and program cost management where actual costs are monitored and aggregated in a real-time environment. This is based not only on new information, but on the capture and intelligent reuse of historical information from past tenders, as well as current information from sister-ship projects. This reduces risk in both material estimation and business logistics for the shipyard by helping to ensure that tenders are accurate and repeatable, and draw on past project experience as part of a continual optimisation process. AVEVA allows the business capture and sales teams the flexibility they need to be more competitive by responding quickly with accurate and informed proposals. Executive management can also operate with a much greater degree of confidence in the quality of the tendering process, integration with project execution, and its impact on the overall business.

The AVEVA Solution The AVEVA solution for shipyards supports planning and control from high-level strategic coordination to individual shop floor operations and across multiple projects. It measures project performance based on an EVMS (Earned Value Management System) methodology, providing seamless integration with design information, materials, and resource management to ensure reliable planning that is efficient and cost-effective, and maintains build quality. Initial major milestones can be established together with rough-cut plans using work breakdown structures (WBS) to define primary scheduling targets. The WBS elements are linked and scheduled with the major milestones for strategic planning, and task work packages are defined down to the lowest level within a WBS. In combination with strict permission controls and a customisable workflow for the validation of information, an AVEVA solution manages information status throughout the project lifecycle. This fully integrated and highly granular planning and control process allows planners to create accurate scheduling that reflects current project conditions, and use it as a tool to monitor project status, identifying and mitigating conflicts. Simulations can also be run to analyse potential scheduling impacts and a dispatch view can be created for foremen in the field to monitor and manage work group schedules. Formal processes can be established to manage the flow of information to external classification societies and interdepartmental stakeholders, to ensure consistency and compliance. AVEVAs integrated planning capabilities provide the administrative control that is essential to project execution integrity and productivity for both current and future projects.

The AVEVA Solution The key to the AVEVA Marine procurement and supply chain strategy is the ability for shipyards to start the procurement process at the design stage and to maintain a collaborative exchange of information throughout the project lifecycle. The AVEVA solution provides this capability right from the earliest stages of the product, through a materials request system that serves as a focal point for all purchase orders and enquiries. Through this system, designers can propose potential suppliers and initial delivery dates. Using standard project component lists, part lists and material catalogues, plus the ability to link 3D objects directly to an item in those catalogues, designers can also select standard material items, with the correct standard and certificates, for purchase order generation. A controlled workflow process ensures that orders complete the appropriate review cycle before being marked Ready and that they are tracked throughout the delivery process until handover to supply and logistics. At the same time, the solution also enables detailed management of the project component catalogue, to ensure the orderly procurement of more complex, long-lead items, such as engines, HVAC systems, etc.

8. Production
Business Requirements Management, design, planning, procurement and stock management all culminate in the production process. It is here that the quality and coordination of the previous processes will determine the ultimate productivity of the production environment. A well-managed production infrastructure is characterised by the completion of a vessel that meets all defined quality standards and is delivered on time and within budget. This is the most complex phase of the project, and it is also the phase with the smallest margin of error. Changes, and rework resulting from poor upstream coordination, can have a massive impact on project schedules and can ultimately make the difference between a profitable project and one that makes a loss.
Operational Realities With most ship production taking place in parallel with design and procurement, the management of the production process is a moving target. The production and project directors, together with the shipyard foremen, struggle with the daily realities of the work orders, BOMs, stock allocation, personnel, resource management, and quality tracking. It is not uncommon to see mismatches between design and production planning cause inaccurate or incomplete information to be delivered at the wrong time. Changes forced by uncoordinated project management can impact all areas of the production process from parts manufacture to assembly and pre-outfitting, as well as onboard erection and final outfitting. Lack of integrated information results in delayed or incorrect executive decisions that will almost certainly exacerbate scheduling and resource conflicts. The consequences are schedule delays and unplanned rework at the most expensive and disruptive point of the project. The AVEVA Solution The benefits of AVEVAs integrated shipbuilding solution are clearly demonstrated when faced with the complexities of the production process. AVEVA enables an efficient production environment by providing the right information at the right time through consistent coordination with design, quality control, logistics and production planning. Having the right information at all levels of management means that shipyards have the accurate BOMs and managed stock they need to meet assembly and outfitting requirements without delays, missing material, or expensive rework. Tight integration between design, material and production planning supports the most ambitious building strategies including palletising, pre-outfitting and block painting (with hotspot works control), etc. Easy online access to any ship documentation, from production locations anywhere in the world, reduces the time spent looking for information and the risk of out-of-date data. Modifications are tracked and analysed for design and material impact before being validated, mitigating disruption across the production stages. Object status and document versioning guarantee that the latest information is available throughout the shipyard, improving production quality. The measurable benefit of a marine solution that is integrated with all aspects of the shipbuilding process explains why hundreds of shipyards around the world rely on AVEVA to reduce production risk and improve business profitability.
