The Challenge
Oceana, a new, medium-sized shipyard specializing in the production of AHTS, PSV and offshore supply vessels, faced several challenges in streamlining its ship production process. Accessing all the necessary information was difficult, and planning across all disciplines was unreliable. The production process was inefficient as people and systems worked separately, not together. The company also struggled with high production costs and assembly times. Furthermore, there were issues with material delivery, with incorrect materials being delivered to the wrong places at the wrong times.
About The Customer
Oceana is a new, medium-sized shipyard based in Itajai, Santa Catarina, Brazil. The shipyard specializes in the production of Anchor Handling Tug Supply (AHTS), Platform Supply Vessel (PSV), and offshore supply vessels. It employs the latest equipment and production processes in building high-technology vessels for the petroleum and gas sectors. The shipyard employs state-of-the-art construction processes and facilities. With more than 1,500 employees, it also has the capacity to build up to six ships per year. The shipyard itself was designed in accordance with strict sustainability standards; these include reuse of rainwater, natural ventilation and light and an adjacent green area of 55,000m2.
The Solution
To overcome these challenges, Oceana selected the AVEVA ERM Integrated Suite. This solution enabled Oceana to conduct cross-departmental planning between engineering, procurement, warehouse, and planning to keep projects on schedule. The AVEVA ERM suite chosen by Oceana is made up of integrated applications, each of which can be configured, if necessary, to address specific standard operating procedures. The applications not only drive greater planning efficiencies but, in doing so, make production a far smoother process. This has resulted in Oceana’s initial gains in time against tight schedules.
Operational Impact
  • Man-hours are now monitored, resulting in less waste in both hours and materials.
  • Work orders are now released closer to the execution date.
  • One integrated system simplifies access to information.
