Bill of Materials Template for Each Design Phase in Ship Design Process Using Aras Innovator

Recent increase in the competition between the shipyards made the shipyards to provide the end product in lesser time and price with higher quality. In order to achieve these goals, it has become necessary for them to implement a PLM system. In this paper, we propose the use of customized Aras Innovator PLM System integrated with the Shipbuilding CAD software AVEVA Marine in shipyards with focus on the bill of materials (BOM) templates for each design phase of ship. We have analyzed the Ship design process and the outputs at each phase and implemented their BOMs in Aras Innovator, an open source PLM system. Most of the small sized shipyards don’t have both the PLM and ERP Systems. Whereas the medium sized shipyards have ERP Systems. The Aras PLM System does the work of resource planning needed in these types of shipyards. Hence, this PLM system will be able to be adopted newly in small sized shipyards and in place of ERP Systems in medium sized shipyards to be competitive.
