Shipbuilding CAD/CAM systems are a rich source of data that can be consumed by other business processes. In shipbuilding, managing and tracking the procurement and consumption of materials via an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system is a critical portion of a shipyard’s overall IT infrastructure. ERP systems are data hungry applications and while the technology to integrate these systems is usually available, an in-depth understanding of the shipyard’s business processes and how those processes map onto an integration effort is a necessary, yet often lacking, component of a successful integration project. This paper outlines an effort, undertaken by SSI, to solve this challenge for a diverse array of shipbuilders.
