Context and Challenges
The shipyard operated with an extensive fleet of equipment for moving, lifting and transporting cargo, but despite this significant capacity, additional leases were frequently used to cover operational requirements.
âš Critical Operational Issues
Logistics processes were plagued by overlaps, unplanned demands, and inefficient resource management, leading to high costs and operational delays.
Global Shipbuilding Group - Romanian Shipyard
One of the largest shipbuilding groups in the world implemented a digital solution to optimize logistics efficiency at a recently acquired Romanian shipyard.
Main Problems Identified
| Problem | Potential Impact | |
|---|---|---|
| Ad-hoc allocation of resources | Equipment distributed via telephone requests without clear planning, causing overlaps and inefficiency | |
| Lack of a planning strategy | Only major operations scheduled, rest managed urgently, generating bottlenecks and delays | |
| Inefficient monitoring | No digital system to track operations and equipment performance, preventing optimization | |
| Poor communication | Lack of centralized platform causing coordination errors and productivity losses |
