Digital Ship Design, Manufacturing and Lifecycle Management

Low profit margin. Increased pressures on delivery schedule and price. Stringent safety standards. Can you deliver a ship that bring lifetime values to the owners? Do you work efficiently across your supply chain? Dassault Systèmes (DS) can help you accelerate market-driven innovations through integrated Product Life Cycle Management (PLM) Solutions.

Accelerating Market-Driven Innovations

Even when global demand for ships is high, shipbuilding profits can be surprisingly low. During an economic downturn, it is even more difficult for companies to remain profitable. Many builders are caught between prices set at the beginning of a project and rapid spikes of material and fuel prices. The ability to offer aesthetically pleasing style with a wide range of on-board features is essential to setting oneself apart from the competition. Progressive naval architects, ship designers, shipyards and equipment suppliers are relying more and more on Product Lifecycle Management solutions to address these tough challenges.

 

Thanks to its PLM Online for All platform, Dassault Systèmes delivers integrated PLM Solutions to accelerate the development of innovative products that have higher chances of market success. DS' Shipbuilding PLM or Ship Lifecycle Management Solutions integrate business process management with cutting-edge tools for design, engineering and manufacturing planning. By managing thrusts coming from the market and facilitating enterprise-wide collaboration, companies are becoming more efficient, productive, and responsive to changes in the marketplace or supply-chain.
