## Historically: Stand-Alone Sequential Processes

*Historically: Stand-Alone Sequential Processes*

*Are they finished yet?**When will we get the drawings?**Is there anybody listening?**Is there anybody there?*

## The Old Shipyard Way: “Over the Wall” 

**Information was not effectively shared, resulting in physical rework**
**Market pressures forced reduced Design & Build Timescales**

**Understanding what’s gone before**

**Inefficiency during**

*Working Towards ~ *A Common Approach

## Internal Customer Perceptions

**Processes**
- Global understanding
- Ownership
- Management
- Effectiveness Measures
**Measures**
- Not uniformly applied
- Unclear
- Ownership

## Internal Customer Perceptions

**Data**
- Understanding of Product Database
- Data structures Complex
- Data categorisation
**Systems Architecture**
- Ability to absorb
- Extensive Support and training
- What to use when

## Internal Customer Perceptions

**Basics are sound (Stage 0, 1, 2 and 3) ****need to concentrate on ‘making it work’ ****and how best to apply and operate.**
**Education and Awareness**
**Ownership**
**Compliance Audits**
**Review & Refresh**
**Hierarchy**
**Touch & Feel**

## Form and Content: Touch and Feel

*Form and Content: Touch and Feel*

**Written in QA speak - not for Engineers**
**Documents seen as an ‘evil’- for audit only**
**Process content of variable quality**

## Proposed Documentation / Information Structure

*Proposed Documentation / Information Structure*

## Slide 23

## Working Towards - A Common Book Approach

** ****Common set of Processes, Measures & Systems**** **
** ****Ownership of Processes, Measures & Systems with****  knowledge and area of expertise**** **
** ****Check applicability and  appropriateness ~ refresh**** **
** ****Monitor compliance ~ usage and content**** **
** ****Taking the Service Level** **Agreement that step further!**

*Working Towards - A Common Book Approach*

## Working Towards - Common framework to support each Project (Taking the Service Level Agreement that step further)
