In today's competitive climate, a shipyard's success depends on its ability to deliver projects on time, on budget and at a high quality. However, new technologies, materials and sustainability requirements are increasing the complexity of shipbuilding projects. To remain competitive, shipyards need to stay in control of their shipbuilding projects and manage this growing complexity.
Mitigate risks and stay in control of your complex shipbuilding projects by integrating cost, schedule and technical requirements in a fully planned, resourced and budgeted end-to-end project management solution.
Adopt an integrated systems approach to shipbuilding project planning. Implementing a centralized project management system for all project artifacts, including the work breakdown structure (WBS), costs, schedules, technical requirements and execution status, is critical to project success. It enables robust change management and integrates requirements throughout the product lifecycle.
Keep risks under control by connecting risks and requirements right from the start of a request for proposal (RFP). This allows all stakeholders to assess risks early and work together to deliver projects on schedule and on budget.
Take a closed-loop approach to shipbuilding project management. A work structure breakdown (WBS) library helps capture and store best practices and lessons learned, supporting continuous improvement of processes and workflows. Using historical data to evaluate costs, schedules and risks increases the accuracy of bids and your chances of winning new business.
Confidently create competitive bids that fully meet customer requirements while ensuring projects are on time, on budget and on quality. Control and mitigate risks in an increasingly complex environment. Learn more about shipbuilding project management solutions.
There are a variety of systems involved in the planning and execution of shipbuilding projects. When those systems are disconnected, it can result in inconsistencies among requirements, logistics and planning, creating delays and putting projects at risk. Our shipbuilding project management solutions can help you stay in control of your projects by integrating cost, schedule and technical requirements in a fully planned, resourced and budgeted single source of truth.
Shipbuilding projects are incredibly complex. Shipbuilding program management usually involves three key systems: enterprise planning tools (EPT), enterprise resource planning (ERP) and product lifecycle management (PLM). If these systems aren't fully connected, it takes significant manual effort to keep them in sync.
Integrating all project artifacts into a single shipbuilding project management solution brings full traceability to a project. It also allows knowledge and lessons from past projects to be saved and accessed, providing a sound basis for future bid accuracy and completeness, which gives shipbuilders a better chance of winning new business.
By taking a systems approach to shipbuilding project management, risks and requirements are connected from the very start of a project. Doing so allows all stakeholders to assess risks early and work jointly to deliver projects on time and on budget. Plus, an integrated approach establishes closed-loop change management workflow, with changes being accurately cascaded to avoid cost overruns, penalties and delays.
Our shipbuilding project management solutions integrate technical requirements into the project plan from the start to ensure that the final product conforms to those requirements.
The key to achieving shipbuilding project management excellence is opting for a solution that integrates all key project planning systems into one single source of truth, creating full visibility and traceability from the start of a project. Our solutions do just that, taking a systems approach to project planning and execution.
