Challenges for a Design House

Need of Integrated Document Management Tool (IDMT)

Typical features for IDMT

A brief on Vedam

Layout


3

A outsourcing hub for shipbuilding industry… usually propelled by cyclic

nature of shipbuilding market

Is meant to support shipyards as an integral part of their system

Caters to full or a part of complete engineering work

Sometimes, Design house is expected to have specific technical expertise

Design House ..


4

Each project is related to different shipyards, standards, requirement, format,

expectation and scope

Schedules are usually governed by shipyard, and the design house has to stick

to the schedule by optimising their manpower

Revisions are sudden and effect of revision is expected to be quicker

Sometime direct interaction with vendor, sub-contractor etc.

Involvement of multiple design house for different scope but working in same

environment.

Same design team working on multiple projects simultaneously.

Design House ..Challenges

This leads to a high volume of frequent data flow which is to be managed and processed effectively to meet desired common goal.

8

An intelligent tool for Design House to handle document, data,

information, notes, comments, revisions; operating seamlessly

across the involved parties integrated to the design tools used

without burdening design team.

The tool should be independent of projects, shipyard, standard,

format etc.

Integrated Doc Management Tool


9

IDMT is a fairly simplified version of PLM

IDMT is only meant to handle design data

IDMT to take full advantage of 3D model

Independent of yard, standard, formats… highly flexible

More importance on revision control and effect

IDMT vs PLM Interface…


10

Common data basket .. to store input, output etc

Intelligent Data Processing .. not only a storage tool

Info available across teams/parties

Avoid repeatability .. ease of data feeding, intuitive

Relationship with design tools/3D model

Extraction of data … history/statistics/filtering

Adaptability… with regard to changes/users/missing info

Requirements of IDMT


11

Input, Design Model and Output can be kept in single database

Design software can enhance processing power

3-D model can be best medium to share data across the parties, design

teams

Large amount of data feeding can be made automatic

Relationship between ship part/item and data

Integration with 3-D Model


12

Project back-up will contain Inputs+3D model+Outputs.. Everything !!

Options can be given to back-up only 3D model

Single Database…

Target is to process the data … not only store data

Inbuilt processing power with Design Tools, like ..

◦Effect of revision in basic design dwgs on 3D model

◦Effect of revision in 3D model on output drawings

◦Status of production design, e.g. %age completion of block modeling in

terms of weight, no. of spools released for production wrt total no. of

spools,

Processing Power…


14

Target is to transfer/retrieve data seamlessly across the

parties and design team. But what can be the medium ??

◦Email ??

◦Folder based storage space ??

◦Multi-dimensional table space ???

3-D model can be the best possible medium : ◦Str Basic Dwg Block/Bulkhead Block Production Dwg

◦P&ID System/Pipe line Spool & Arrangement Dwg

◦Vendor Data Equipment Layout & Foundation

◦Comments/Instructions 3D item / User Response cycle

◦Revision/Optimisation 3D item / Block Output Drawing

Communication medium


16

A browser pane in 3D model environment to access Inputs,

Outputs, other docs

Easy access of Docs & Info..Option to highlight comments on 3D environment .. Option to

import comments from FVIEWER directly to FORAN database

Pop up alerts for schedule, statusPop up alert when revision/comments receivedQuick access links to docs related to current zone/block/syst

INPUT LOG

SHIPYARD & Other Parties

DESIGN HOUSE


18

Each and every input (doc, dwg, revision, comment, MoM, instruction) is to be

logged

Storage & access of input doc should be done in database

Each Document is to be related to 3D model

IDMT… Input Log

OUTPUT LOG


20

Each output is logged with revision no. and notes

Each output is related to 3D model in someway

Each output set is related to a time history of 3D model status. Any modification in 3D model

there after should reflect on output status

22

Revisions or modifications are logged and related to actions.

Effects of modification is reflected across the team is monitored

Manhours and completion status are monitored

Un-attended revisions are flagged as per urgency level

24

TQs are two way forms which are to be logged and monitored

Each TQ to be related to work package or unit

Solution of TQ to be available across the teams

Affected units or designer should get a pop-up message when solution is received

OUTPUT LOG OUTPUT TRACKER


26

Outputs like nesting, spool, support, arrangement dwgs are to be tracked for proper revision control

Tracker should be intuitive or auto feeder to avoid large amount of data feeding

Relationship with 3D model is a must

Tracker should give output data as per time history at different stage of design. Bench marking in 3D

model can be thought of.

SCHEDULING Work Progress Monitoring



28

Schedules are to be fed into the 3D model and to be related to particular action ..

FHULL modeling, FHINFO output, Fdesign output etc

Schedules related to work package to be shown in working screen

Monitoring the progress in terms of steel weight, no. of parts, line no., support no. can

be done using available data in 3D model
