Strengthened PDM for an advanced planning and scheduling
Floorganise is proud to introduce a major upgrade to its Floor2Plan Shipyard MES, designed to easily connect with leading PDM/PLM systems and offer Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) features.
This upgrade uses the product breakdown structure (MBOM/EBOM) from PDM systems to automate key parts of planning and scheduling in shipyards. With part-level metadata, Floor2Plan calculates work hours, assigns resources, and creates detailed plans and digital work packages. Activities are sequenced directly from the PDM system, significantly reducing manual effort while improving planning accuracy.
For example, engineering model data such as weight or welding length can automatically fill detailed planning templates in Floor2Plan. These templates include pre-set activities with specific resource assignments, making workflows more controlled and flexible.
Real-Time Insights for Supervisors
Using material availability data from ERP systems, this solution also adds the Last Planner methodology (LPM), giving supervisors real-time updates to make better decisions. This approach reduces manual planning efforts by up to 50%. Supervisors also get faster access to critical data, cutting wait times from weeks to just one day. This improvement reflects Floorganise’s focus on building strong partnerships with key PDM/PLM providers. These partnerships go beyond simple data sharing, adding built-in APS features that help shipyards align their resource planning with production schedules more effectively.
With this integration, shipyards could save up to $17.4 million per year for every 1,000 workers by improving processes and removing inefficiencies.
By bridging the gap between MES and PDM systems, Floorganise continues to innovate, offering solutions that enhance planning precision, operational efficiency, and decision-making across all levels of shipyard operations. Stay tuned as we lead the way in shaping the future of shipyard technology
