8/2/2019 AVEVA Shipyard Process
3/15
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 dramaticallyimprove 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.
1.1 AVEVA Integrated Shipbuilding
AVEVA dominates the shipbuilding industry, with 43 of the top 50
global shipyards relying on its design and management software
solutions. The acquisition of the market-leading Tribon Software in
2004 provides AVEVA with decades of expertise in the creation of
design and production information for the shipbuilding process. Theaddition of the MARS process management technology in 2010
rounds out the portfolio and reinforces AVEVAs firm commitment to
providing industry-leading solutions for the shipbuilding industry.
AVEVA Integrated Shipbuilding supports design development at all
stages of the production process and across all technical
disciplines. Design data is transformed into production for parts
manufacture and assembly with automated tools that ensure
production information is accurate, and tuned to the specific needs
of each shipyard. Carefully managed and accurate information has
been proven to create huge savings in shipbuilding production costs
and project schedules.
AVEVA NET is the information management infrastructure upon
which AVEVAs integrated environment is built. AVEVA NET supports
the access and management of information across an organisation
and throughout the entire lifecycle of a ship. It provides a secure
environment for vendors, owners, classification societies and
partners to share and collaborate on project information. AVEVA
NETs open interfaces meet the latest ISO standards and provide a
vehicle to dynamically interact with existing shipyard design,
production and enterprise resource applications for efficient
knowledge management and design reuse.
Uniquely in the marine industry, AVEVA is able to offer a fullyintegrated business system for efficient shipbuilding, covering all
dimensions of the design and construction process. With AVEVA,
design and production follow a well def ined and managed process
that gives shipyards the right information at the right time, so they
can make the right decisions.

2. Executive Management
Information
Business Requirements
In order to make informed business decisions on large projects and
individual activities, corporate executives and senior management
require a reliable and accurate information infrastructure. For their
decisions to be fully informed, the information provided must meet
the unique sensitivities of the marine industr y, spanning a wide
range of disciplines including overall planning, design, production
and materials management, across multiple, concurrent projects.
One of the key responsibilities of executive decision-makers is to
reduce business risk throughout their organisation and this can
only be achieved with complete, dynamic and cross-functional
information.
Operational Realities
More often than not, the reality of the modern shipyard actually
handicaps the executive decision process. Poorly informed
decisions can lead to fundamental design errors and a major impact
on downstream production. Project knowledge is locked inside
isolated systems which cannot be easily shared, leading to
incomplete and inaccurate pools of information, that are incapable
of giving a complete overview across multiple projects. It can be
impossible to dynamically synchronize data sets, making it difficult
to capture an evolving view of the status of a project, something
that is essential for informed decision making.
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-ef fective 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. Thisallows 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.

3. Business Capture
and Sales
Business Requirements
Before a shipyard can engage in any vessel construction project, it
must compete with other yards to present the most attractive
proposal to the contracting owner that balances cost, slots and
marker lists. Having an integrated business system across all project
disciplines is critical to delivering quick and accurate tender
documentation. The ultimate profitability of the business demands
that the tendering and business capture processes produce accurate
and competitive proposals that can be efficiently delivered
throughout the lifecycle of the project, which often extends three
years or more into the future.
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 wellas 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.

4. Planning
and Control
Business Requirements
Planning and schedule control lie at the heart of any well executed
project. Planning and project directors, together with their staff,
are responsible for the coordination of all tasks for both design and
production in a multi-project environment. This cr itical
responsibility touches on virtually every aspect of a project and
plays a pivotal role in build strategy, productivity, quality,
optimisation and cost-effective execution. The multi-disciplinary
nature of this management process demands a comprehensive view
of the overall project as it constantly evolves. The ability of a
shipyard to tightly manage security, planning and project control
can make the difference between business success and failure.
Operational Realities
The use of different tools for different planning tasks is the norm
for many shipyards. This situation makes it very difficult to ensure
any degree of planning integrity and strategic coordination.
Disconnected security strategies mean that engineers can
incorporate non-validated information into project designs, with
major downstream consequences. Without automated integration
between the different planning levels, the only way to coordinate
activity is through manual synchronization which can be time
consuming and prone to error. The overall lack of project
traceability actually promotes poor quality information, causingunnecessary additional design loops.
The result can have a major impact on productivity and cost. To
provide just three examples: a lack of integration between
production planning and design planning leads to late availability
of drawings for production, assembly and outfitting. A lack of
integration between planning and material management results in
materials not being in the right place at the right time. And a lack
of integration within the design processes themselves can
necessitate expensive rework later in the production phase.
Without an integrated approach to the planning and controlprocess, schedules will be unrealistic and the actual status of
project activities will not be fed back into the process, adversely
impacting later activities, and making it diff icult to measure and
improve performance. Poor logistics ultimately lead to project
delays and reduced quality.
The AVEVA SolutionThe AVEVA solution for shipyards suppor ts 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 managethe 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.

5. Engineering
and Design
Business Requirements
Most of the planning and execution of the shipbuilding process is
highly dependent on the design of the vessel. While the design and
management teams are tasked with engineering all aspects of the
ship, they are also responsible for ensuring that relevant
engineering, material and production information is optimised and
available to support the manufacturing, assembly and
commissioning processes. The engineering team must be able to
make full reuse of past designs, and rapidly create and validate new
designs to maximise the efficiency of the vessel and its production
process. To achieve this, they require world-class applications that
include instrumentation, electrical and piping schematics and all
aspects of hull design and outfitting, which must be tightly
integrated with the planning and production disciplines used
throughout the project lifecycle.
Operational Realities
Unlike most construction projects, it is commonplace for shipyards
to begin production well before the vessel design is complete. While
this can compress schedules, it also creates opportunities for
miscommunication, data inconsistencies, project delays and
expensive rework. The multi-disciplinary nature of engineering and
design means that most shipyards employ a wide range of 2D and 3D
design applications, from a host of different software suppliers thatprovide little or no operational integration.
The result is a collection of isolated databases that actually lock
away the critical design information, making it difficult to share
and control project design information. These silos of information
demand a great deal of manual intervention to manage, negatively
impacting project productivity, and a lack of permission control can
result in designs based on incorrect or invalid information.
The AVEVA Solution
Built specifically for the needs of the marine industry, AVEVA design
solutions have been proven for decades in the worlds leading
shipyards. However, it is no longer enough to have world-class
design applications; they must also eliminate the information silos
between the engineering, planning and control processes.
AVEVA integrates engineering and design data into one productmodel, ensuring a single source of truth for all information,
whether engineering and design, functional design, detailed
design, or production, planning and materials data. AVEVA's focus
on interoperability enables huge flexibility in the choice of
engineering authoring tools, but also guarantees a high level of
integration across the other phases of the shipbuilding process. For
example, the solution provides an interface to industry-standard
mechanical CAD systems, as well as a common catalogue that shares
material information between design and material management
applications.
Additionally, it enables information to be securely used acrossglobal deployments, via the Internet or an organisation's existing
private networks. This ability is crucial in a shipbuilding industry
that is increasingly reliant on subcontracting, outsourcing and
other dispersed relationships. This is essential to drive greater
efficiency into todays highly competitive shipbuilding industry.

6. Procurement and
Supply Chain
Business Requirements
Procurement and materials management directors have one of the
most difficult coordination tasks in the shipyard. They are
responsible for the process of planning procurement of major
equipment, internal requisitioning of all equipment, material and
services, negotiation with vendors, and executing and expediting
the actual purchase. These tasks are dependent on, and influenced
by, a wide range of other activities so it is absolutely essential that
the information they require is accessible and accurate. Since the
shipbuilding process is in a constant state of flux, it is also critical
that the procurement team be informed of changes in a timely way
so they can take appropriate action to avoid unnecessary expense
and delays.
Operational Realities
The greatest risk to creating an efficient procurement and supply
chain process is poor quality information and a lack of coordination.
It is all too common for procurement to be seen as a separate and
independent activity when it should be an integral part of the much
wider design and production process.
The tools provided can actually reduce access to the complete and
accurate information set that is vital in the making of key project
decisions. Lack of visibility of an elemental activity like budgeting,for example, can have serious cash flow consequences which, in
turn, can threaten the entire material procurement process.
Poor information quality has very direct project consequences,
which can include compromising the ability to negotiate effectively
with vendors, inability to identify long-lead items, incorrect and
incomplete orders, and delivering at the wrong time or location.
These weaknesses in the procurement process have a cascade effect
across the entire project. Incorrect materials and delivery delays
jeopardise work order and resource planning, which damages
project schedules and impacts production eff iciency, costing time
and money.
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, par t
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 processensures 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.

7. Stock and
Logistics
Business Requirements
The primary interface between procurement and production is
formed by the stock and logistics activities. The stock managers
warehouse receives materials, tracks non-conformances and issues
material for planned tasks and work packages according to the
production schedule. The warehouse administration controls
standard activities such as inventory counting, goods return, stock
card controls, etc. Coordination and visibility of the dif ferent
functional areas throughout the project play an important role in
improving production efficiency and meeting project schedules. A
clear view of upstream and downstream priorities is vital to enable
the stock manager to synchronize activities with the project, and
deliver the right materials at the right time.
Operational Realities
In reality, it is unusual for the stock manager to have a broad view of
planning, procurement and production priorities. The warehouse is
typically isolated from project planning, making it difficult to
guarantee that the right material will be available at the right time
for production work orders. With no structured interface between
stock and planning, daily planning and re-planning activities are
performed with no consideration of material availability. From a
warehouse perspective, there is also a complete lack of visibilitybetween issued material and production operations, greatly
impairing overall project flexibility.
While the warehouse can sometimes be seen as a bottleneck in
project execution, it is the lack of coordination with other project
areas that lies at the root of this problem. The ability of the
warehouse to deliver the right materials at the right time depends
entirely on well-established links to procurement and production
processes. The consequences of this are significant. Failure of
the warehouse to provide the materials to meet work order
requirements results in a waste of resources, time and money.
The AVEVA Solution
Stock administration within an AVEVA Marine environment means
seamless integration with procurement and planning to ensure that
material is directed to production in the right quantity at the right
time, in accordance with the real-time plan and production
schedule. All warehoused goods are tracked, non-conformance is
identified, and material attributes are monitored and flagged.
A strict stocking workflow registers quality and non-conformance
status, identifies missing materials and enables automated materialborrowing, as well as recording the physical stock location for all
materials. Using a warehouse dispatch view, material requisitions
are easily visualised, allowing the warehouse to plan schedules for
gathering and issuing material against the active production plans.
The seamless integration between stock and production planning
enables a dispatch function that provides real-time visibility of
material holdings, so that materials are only released to production
if resources are available to complete the work order. Providing
advanced warehouse management capabilities, integrated with the
procurement, planning and production processes, delivers major
project benefits.

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 def ined 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 exacerbatescheduling 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 eff icient 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.

9. Commissioning
and Delivery
Business Requirements
As the last phase of the shipbuilding process, commissioning and
delivery are important to successful and timely project completion.
Comprising both physical inspection and the delivery of process,
supplier and certif ication documentation, commissioning and
delivery represent the final test of any shipyards information
management system. An optimised delivery process is vital to the
project, to ensure that required documentation is created and
maintained throughout the lifecycle. A professional delivery can
help to secure prompt f inal payment, while leaving a lasting and
positive impression with the owner, laying the groundwork for
future contract opportunities.
Operational Realities
With many deliverables at the end of the fabrication process,
commissioning and delivery are complex and time consuming, and
often suffer from late execution of production tasks as delivery
deadlines rapidly approach. Missing, incomplete, inaccurate and
inconsistent information all contribute to delays in the
commissioning and delivery process. The more disconnected this
phase is from the project process, the more time consuming and
costly it can be. Ultimately, the result is two very expensive
situations that shipbuilders should seek to avoid: extended seatrials and longer time at the outfitting quay.
Badly planned commissioning activities can also force yards to
employ expensive specialists at short notice to assist with the
execution of delivery requirements. Rather than preparing for the
delivery of the vessel throughout the project, many shipyards find
themselves under great pressure to compile the requisite documents
against a backdrop of looming deadlines.
The AVEVA Solution
The integrated nature of the AVEVA shipbuilding solution provides
the consistent management of production schedules, design
specifications, vendor information and material control to allow
smooth and efficient commissioning and delivery. All critical
documentation and certifications are captured from the beginning
of the project and managed throughout the entire lifecycle. This
information-centric approach provides rapid access to cr itical
information, the ability to check, early in the project, for
incomplete or inconsistent data, and the flexibility to reformat andrepurpose documentation as demanded by the delivery process.
The strong technical dependencies between design, production and
commissioning are fully retained, regardless of shipyard and
supplier locations around the world. Commissioning and production
planning are consistently managed to remove bottlenecks and
accelerate the overall delivery process. All essential documentation
is classified and managed, to ensure efficient vessel certification
and complete handover to the shipowner.
The integrated shipbuilding environment also provides dramatic
improvements in the overall quality of the technical informationdelivered to owners and their maintenance teams. For example,
relationships between schematic data, 3D routing, material and
vendor specifications can be fully visualized and quickly
understood, cutting the cost, time and disruption of on-board
maintenance activities.
AVEVA integrated shipbuilding enables the eff icient professional
commissioning and maintenance of all ship systems, by providing
access to consistent, quality engineering information throughout
the managed commissioning, production planning and material
processes.

10.The Extended
Shipyard
Business Requirements
One of the most significant changes in the shipbuilding industry
over the last two decades has been the specialisation and
globalisation of shipyards and suppliers. As these specialists
improve product efficiencies and reduce costs, a growing number of
major vessel projects rely on them for strategic components and
assemblies. The result is the relentless rise of outsourcing and the
increasing need to establish and maintain effective working
relationships with suppliers around the globe.
Likewise, on the design side, the use of subcontracting design
companies or agencies has grown impressively. These organisations
are not delivering physical product, so the logistics of the
relationship are relatively straightforward, but their precious
cargo - data - can be massively devalued by failure to deliver it
properly into the world of production and planning, and manage it
in an integrated way thereafter.
The shipyard is no longer isolated within a single site, but must now
extend and integrate its supply and management activities across
other companies in distributed locations. The ability to take full
advantage of the benefits offered by todays global shipbuilding
industry can make the difference between success and failure. Themodern shipyard needs new tools and resources to create an
efficient and effective extended shipyard.
Operational Realities
Shipyards have been dealing with global suppliers for decades, but
the services, technology and assemblies being provided now
demand a much higher degree of integration throughout the
design, construction and delivery process. Suppliers are no longer
simply shipping raw materials, but complete subsystems which must
be tightly coordinated with key project milestones and technical
certifications. Unfortunately, many shipyards do not have the tools
and resources they need to track, control and manage thisincreasingly complex process. The result can be delays, cost
overruns, and technical incompatibilities that can cause disruptive
rework that jeopardises compliance with delivery specifications.
More often than not, contracts with global suppliers are treated as
separate and external activities by project and senior management
to the extent that these activities are seen as a black box on the
overall project schedule. There is no ability to apply the same level
of management and oversight to extended shipyard activities as is
applied to onsite activities. The inability to create a fully integrated
extended shipyard environment compromises the predictability,
efficiency and quality of vessel projects.
The AVEVA Solution
AVEVAs integrated marine solution provides the industrys most
comprehensive set of tools for todays extended shipyard. All
activities, including those from global suppliers, are viewed and
managed using the same resources. Supplier work orders are
integrated into the design, procurement, production and delivery
process. Service level agreements, technical specifications and
certifications are managed and controlled independently of
geographical considerations. Third-party suppliers are no longer a
black box on the schedule, but a fully integrated part of the total
project plan.
AVEVA provides the collaborative infrastructure necessary for all
stakeholders to exchange key documents and information. Ship
owners and classification societies can view plans and deliveryschedules to monitor the process and submit comments. Suppliers
can monitor project schedules and design information to ensure
delivery timing and technical compatibility. Through AVEVAs unique
and powerful Global technology, 3D design and schematic
information can be worked on and viewed from anywhere around
the world. Status reports can be shared with the management and
delivery teams to identify scheduling conflicts and technical
exceptions early in the process. Linking procurement, electronic
tendering and logistics, enables the support of virtual supply,
where critical documentation for delivered equipment can be
submitted electronically and automatically associated with the
vessel model.
AVEVA Global also translates the sharing of information into hard
economic benefit. Work can be allocated to the most cost-effective
locations; work centres can be added or removed as the project
progresses, to use capacity wherever it exists; the uploading and
downloading of project f iles to FTP sites is eliminated, reducing
project administration costs. This technology helps organisations
manage onsite and extended activities in a single, shared system, in
hundreds of projects across the world.
