NEW F2P FEATURES FOR US NAVAL SHIPYARDS/NSRP
Streamlining Planning and Production with PLM and F2P Integration
29th of February was day 2 of the of the National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP) ‘Automated Detail Planning’ project workshop at the SSI US office. The projects focus on automating the detail planning process and coordinating the project plan through a direct integration with the product model.
Attendees
Representatives from Eastern Shipbuilding Group Inc., Ingalls Shipbuilding (a Division of HII), General Dynamics – Bath Iron Works, Austal USA, and other shipyards are participating alongside SSI and Floorganise to get hands on the latest project developments.
The workshop covers two ongoing projects:
- Automated Detail Planning and Integrated Shipyard Ops with Engineering Data
- Automated Detail Planning and Instant Earned Value Control
Central topics of the workshop
- Implementation of last planner methods, task readiness status per task including:
- Engineering status
- Design change status
- Material status
- Predecessor status
_____
- Scenario planning and change management:
- Allow the shop floor to assess the impact of mitigating alternatives
- Allow the shop floor to apply alternative planning scenarios
- Allow project management or planners to confirm proposed changes
_____
- Integration with engineering model (Shipconstructor / Floor2Plan):
- Automated the detail planning process using engineering model input
- Use metadata for sequencing, budgeting of activities (weight/welding length)
_____
- Engineering change notice:
- Communicate to production which parts are under review
- Communicate the part status in production to engineering
- Link to the contents of the considered change
_____
- Individual scheduling:
- Create different schedules with different rulesets
- Apply schedules per worker / trade / department
- Assign workers to schedule and personal exception
- Assign workers to projects (repair environment need)
_____
- Dashboarding:
- Resource planning scenarios based on hours but also tonnage
- Resource planning based on individual skills, trades etcetera
- Resource planning based on different load scenarios
- SPI / CPI extensive reporting
_____
