Five Steps to Improve the Shipbuilding Process

Introduction – Five Steps to Improvement

1 Load the database library with purchased parts & keep track of changes

3 Create 3D Model etc.; every person works in his own discipline but also sees the progress of other disciplines

5 Automatically generate Production Drawings & Reports

2Decide where and how parts will be

produced; set project parameters

4Create the Build Strategy that fits

your yard
