Marine projects demand sophisticated design capabilities, staggering amounts of data and documents, complex schedules, and huge quantities of materials and resources. It is the nature of these projects that the resources are evolving and changing throughout the shipbuilding process as part of a dynamic workflow which demands tight coordination between internal and external parties. In order to succeed under these conditions, shipyards must have highly developed capabilities for generating, coordinating and managing this complex equation of information, materials allocation and resource availability within the contractually agreed time schedules and costs. This paper explores the complex demands of this environment and offers a strategic perspective on many of the fundamental design, process and management issues faced by the modern shipyard.
