Challenge	Chantier Davie (Davie), a diversified shipbuilder, produces various types of ships for both naval and commercial clients. The latest project, called ‘Resolve’, is the conversion of a 182.5-metre container ship into an auxiliary oil replenishment vessel for the Canadian Navy, to be completed in only 24 months, including design and delivery. To achieve the deadline for the complex rebuild, Davie had to evaluate existing tools and processes, to maximise efficiency across design, planning, supply chain and production. Before engaging with AVEVA ERM, Davie was facing several challenges in the planning and supply-chain domains. The challenges revolved around missing visibility of materials for planning, and around planning for the supply chain. Most of the systems used for supply chain and planning management were home-grown and supplemented with various Microsoft Excel sheets and Access databases. Read More
About Customer	Established in 1825, Chantier Davie shipyard is Canada’s oldest and largest shipbuilder, and one of the country’s leading and most innovative shipyards. Situated in Quebec, the yard has been continuously expanding in both working and production capacity, and its 1,300 workers now have the capability to handle 1,200 t/month of steel production, at their 570,000 m2 facilities. Davie provides value-added, specialised products and services, making full use of its high-capacity fabrication capabilities to provide complex engineered solutions to meet its clients’ needs. The company’s ability to provide end-to-end turnkey solutions, combined with its strategic location, makes Davie the partner of choice for clients across a broad range of industries from offshore oil & gas to defence.

Solution	The transformation process was initially started with the introduction of AVEVA ERM and AVEVA Marine, and also AVEVA Global, a tool which allows teams from multiple locations to work on the same model. This allowed Davie to optimise their concurrent design processes together with multiple European design agencies. Davie started its transition by purchasing SAP for financials and, shortly thereafter, AVEVA ERM for material management and planning. One of the challenges which has been overcome is that of missing materials on the shop floor, where Davie, thanks to AVEVA ERM’s integrated planning and materials management capabilities, can now see the status/ availability of materials before releasing jobs for production.
