JT as foundation of collaboration in ship lifecycle

A plan to succeed The shipbuilding industry faces major challenges sharing data and knowledge as well as collaboration. These challenges involve huge amounts of data, different design and manufacturing stages, different disciplines and different software. Shipbuilders must also manage a huge supply chain which can include design agents, equipment manufacturers and block fabricators. JTTM techno...

Ship Maintenance Processes With Collaborative Product Lifecycle Management and 3D Terrestrial Laser Scanning Tools: Reducing Costs and Increasing Productivity

The current cost-constrained environment within the DoD requires a cogent approach to cost reductions that will not compromise the productivity of core defense support processes such as ship maintenance, a core process. The SHIPMAIN initiative was designed to standardize ship maintenance alternations in order to take advantage of the cost savings from standardizing core processes. However, the ...

Lifecycle building card: toward paperless and visual lifecycle management tools

This paper presents a novel vision of paperless and visual lifecycle building management tools based on the coupling between Building Information Models (BIM) and Augmented Reality (AR) called Lifecycle Building Card. As the use of BIM increases within the architecture, engineering, and construction industries, new opportunities emerge to help stakeholders and maintenance operators to leverage ...

Axiomatic Product Development Lifecycle

Configuration Lifecycle Management

The development and use of product configurators has been highlighted as one of the more important IT enabled technologies to facilitate the realisation of mass customisation. However, the integration of these technologies into day to day business operations is complicated by the proliferation of configuration capabilities across a number of types of IT applications. This paper seeks to address...
