Shipbuilding

Shipbuilding is a broad sector with includes producers of custom products (custom built yachts and special purpose workboats) to semi-standard ships (inland and coastal shipping, tankers, tugboats). There can also be great variable per dockyard. Some dockyards build nearly everything by themselves, whiles others use a large number of subcontractors. Both of them work with very complex bills of materials, tight project planning and strict liquidity planning.

Trimergo Project Industry software is already used at many dockyards because of the following reasons:

• Graphical interactive (multi project) planning at a dockyard and department level;
• Strong integration between material planning and project planning which enables a clear view of make-or-buy decisions;
• Real-time visibility into project Budget, Actual and Forecast ensures tight control of labor, material and margins;
• Invoicing by milestone or progress can be easily linked to the project plan, as can purchasing, so there will always be clear visibility into revenue and costs for every individual project phase, and all projects in total;
• Web-based architecture enables multiple shipyards and foreign locations to be united by an integrated planning system;
• The real-time, interactive project planning includes all crucial details of purchasing, subcontractors, engineering, workshops, and production all combined into an integrated project plan.
