Database Capable of Handling a Complete Ship

The development and storage of the complete ship design in one large concurrent multi-user access database promotes the smooth and efficient flow of design information between engineering disciplines and leads to a shorter elapsed design time and to a more correct design.

Single Database capable of handling large Assemblies such as a complete Ship

These operational advantages lead to a much reduced volume of documentation, less duplication of work, fewer inconsistencies and errors in the development and transference of design information and which in turn leads to less information being subject to revision and change. The structured way of handling the information flow will help to produce a more technically correct design, at a lower cost and in a shorter time. In addition production can start earlier and both elapsed time and man-hour savings can also be made in production by using specifically created complete and consistent information for each stage of production.
