AVEVA MARS

The shipbuilding materials, resources and workflow management system

AVEVA MARS is a shipbuilding process management system that optimises project control, logistics, materials management, resource and production planning, specifically for the shipbuilding industry. This includes naval and commercial shipping, newbuilds and repair. It significantly reduces cost and time to build, increasing the profitability of the shipyard. More than 2,000 ships have been built using AVEVA MARS and the solution is implemented at more than 50 shipyards worldwide.

AVEVA MARS is a shipbuilding process management system that optimizes project control, logistics, materials management, resource and production planning designed specifically for the shipbuilding industry to significantly reduce cost and time to build, increasing profitability of shipyards.

Easy to deploy and use, AVEVA MARS comprises three integrated modules which support the entire shipbuilding process, from tendering to after-sales:

  • MARS Material
  • MARS Planning
  • MARS Production

This modular structure, and standard APIs to other business systems, lets your process management grow with your business. Select from the box above to find out more.

AVEVA MARS Material enables all basic data from the start of a project to be created and refined, such as design/engineering, drawings, materials, equipment, part listing, procurement, and stock and warehouse management. It includes, among others:

  • Special functions for handling the highly specialized outfitting process
  • Catalogues for handling project-specific items as well as standard material items
  • Procurement scheduling for long-lead items
  • Material requirement analysis, including steel requirements

AVEVA MARS Planning helps improve the transparency of order processing and enables users to make decisions and act on the basis of up-to-date plans. AVEVA MARS Planning closes the loop between planning, control and feedback, even across multi project situations. It includes, among others:

  • Graphic, interactive planning tools
  • Support for project and resource-specific stress curves
  • Support for assignment of resource requirement, costs, checkpoints, material, etc.
  • Integrated, detailed planning - drawings and personnel can be assigned to engineering tasks

AVEVA MARS Production is a comprehensive tool for monitoring and controlling the entire lifecycle of shop and work orders - from creating, scheduling and releasing them, through issuing, reserving and picking materials, to reporting operations. It includes, among others:

  • Special functions for storing prefabricates such as pipe spools, doors, hatches and ladders
  • Links between planning, materials and resources
  • Dedicated functions for quality management and control
  • Interactive scenario simulation to help resolve complex scheduling problems

Lower materials costs

  • Buy the right materials at the right price
  • Minimise stockholding, waste and surpluses

Lower production costs

  • More efficient and integrated working processes
  • Optimise resource use and materials availability

Shorter timescales

  • Predict and prevent problems and bottlenecks
  • Plan more efficient work schedules
  • Avoid delays through materials shortages

Increased project quality

  • Improved data quality, availability and visibility
  • Common and structured data management

 Before implementing AVEVA MARS we calculated that it took about 600,000 man-hours to build a container ship. After we started using AVEVA MARS and optimized the production accordingly we have built an identical ship where only 450,000 man hours were necessary. Being able to reduce production time by 150,000 hours means that we ultimately have improved our financial results.

Sedef Shipyard

 

 We decided to implement AVEVA MARS back in 1990. Since then we have gained full overview of the material situation and material processes were enhanced to work much more efficiently. Today AVEVA MARS has been rolled-out at our large shipyards in Turku, Rauma and Helsinki, and the system is more important than ever before.

 We have replaced our previous application with an industry-specific solution and our first impression is that we have improved our efficiency because MARS fits our existing processes very well. Furthermore, our dataflow has been simplified. The AVEVA MARS team has always provided constructive solutions during the implementation and it is obvious that they have unique knowledge of shipbuilding processes.

BAE Systems

 

 Having conducted a six-month pilot study to evaluate how AVEVA MARS supported our business processes, we decided to go for a full implementation of the system in order to obtain a complete integrated IT solution. It has been a significant benefit to us that the AVEVA MARS system is a shipbuilding-specific solution and thus the required hours for customizations have been kept to a minimum.
