In 2009, the Yellow Sea shipbuilding completed 35 ships of all kinds. Sales revenue reached 2.832 billion yuan, up 41 percent over the same period last year; profits and taxes reached 612.8 million yuan, up 32 percent over the same period last year; profits reached 549 million yuan, up 28.87 percent over the same period last year; taxes exceeded 200 million yuan, up 87.6 percent over the same period last year; and foreign exchange earned from exports reached 171 million US dollars, up 3 percent over the same period last year.

What drives Huanghai shipbuilding to make such an impressive performance? Curious? Question? Surprised? A mixed mood urges us to approach the Yellow Sea shipbuilding to understand the wonderful mystery behind the performance.

As we approached the Yellow Sea shipbuilding step by step, the mystery was revealed step by step. "it's very simple, adhere to technological innovation and management innovation," Zhang Cangang, general manager of Huanghai Shipyard, told reporters.

Practice your internal skills with great foresight and hard work

Since 2004, Huanghai shipbuilding has carried out large-scale technical transformation, which has consolidated the infrastructure of ship construction. At the same time, pay attention to the introduction of computer-aided ship design and management software. The introduction, development and application of these software have improved the company's research, development and construction of high-tech and high value-added ships, such as passenger ro-ro ships, heavy crane ships and cement carriers, as well as the speed and quality of the company's ship construction. it provides various guarantees for the company to deal with various crises and challenges.

However, objectively speaking, the degree of informatization of domestic local small and medium-sized shipbuilding enterprises is relatively low compared with the two major national shipbuilding groups (China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation and China Shipbuilding heavy Industry Corporation). Due to the limitation of capital and technology, it is difficult to use PLM system to manage and control the design, production, inspection and after-sales service of the whole enterprise. Huanghai shipbuilding is also faced with the same problem. " Zhang Cangang told reporters.

In order to win a place in the international shipbuilding market, the Yellow Sea shipbuilding leadership realized that efforts must be made to improve our R & D and management capabilities. in order to respond to the implementation of a series of new international shipbuilding standards, such as the new layer protection standards put forward by the International Maritime Organization, and to meet the new requirements for ship type development, design and construction technology. Therefore, in 2007, Huanghai Shipbuilding cooperated with Shanda Huatian Software, a famous domestic PLM (product life cycle management system) product supplier, to undertake the national 863 project of "industry-oriented customizable PLM system".

PLM system for Shipbuilding Industry

Huanghai shipbuilding PLM lifecycle system for the shipbuilding industry to join the ship inspection management, after-sale management, shipbuilding industry CAD Hudong EFSHD, Shengbo SB3DS integration, ship drawings submission management, drawing delivery management and other unique functions. According to Zhou Anchang, chief economist of Huanghai shipbuilding, these functions well reflect the characteristics of high safety requirements of ship products, complexity of products, coordination among enterprises, and so on. "if it is extended to the whole shipbuilding industry, it will promote the information level of local small and medium-sized shipbuilding enterprises to a higher level." Zhou Anchang said.

The design and production of ship products are characterized by parallelization, design and production, and cooperation among shipbuilders, shipowners, design institutes, outsourcing manufacturers and classification societies. According to the parallel characteristics of ship design and production, the whole life cycle system of Huanghai shipbuilding PLM establishes a stage-by-stage product structure, each stage contains all the professional data, the product data runs through the whole life cycle, realizes information sharing, and eliminates the information isolated island between different cooperative units and departments and different specialties. The parallel working mode of design and production has been formed between the upstream department and the downstream department in the life cycle. Compared with the original traditional work mode, the data integration is high, the information sharing is high, and the consistency is guaranteed. At the same time, the multi-party cooperative work mode effectively improves the work efficiency.

In addition, ships are complex products with high value, multi-disciplinary, single-piece production and long design and production cycle. in the process of design and production, there are often changes in the application of new technologies and shipowners' demands. it leads to the postponement of the whole ship project. " The whole life cycle system of Huanghai shipbuilding PLM can support the project management of the whole life cycle of the ship, solidify and standardize the shipbuilding engineering business and process, realize the project organization mode of design and production, and continuously transmit, process and feedback the product information among shipowners, ship design institutes, shipyards, classification societies, suppliers and other units. Achieve self-demand analysis, scheme design, detailed design, production design, construction design, material planning, material distribution, production and manufacturing process planning, management and monitoring, support each other's parallel and collaborative work. " Zhou Anchang entered the system and introduced it to reporters.

The original plan management work mainly depends on the ability and experience of managers, and on-site command. When the project is complex to a certain extent, it is easy to get out of control. The whole life cycle system of Huanghai Shipbuilding PLM can help managers formulate detailed and feasible plans, supervise their implementation, control the progress of the project and ensure timely completion by coordinating resources or adjusting the relationship between tasks. At the same time, it can accumulate the experience of managers, form the knowledge wealth of the enterprise, and steadily enhance the project management ability of the enterprise, which is of great significance to the timely delivery of ships. " When it comes to the advantages of PLM system, the two bosses are amazed.

True full life cycle

At present, the PLM system commonly used in the industry can only manage design and production, and can not really cover the whole life cycle of products, including scheme, design, production, inspection, delivery, use and maintenance, but the whole life cycle system of Huanghai shipbuilding PLM can not only manage the scheme, design and production, but also expand to the whole process of ship product life cycle, managing the life cycle stages of inspection, delivery, maintenance and maintenance. The integrated management from the designed virtual ship to the actual ship is realized, and the product life cycle data management is really realized. At the same time, the design information guides the maintenance and repair of the finished products, which realizes the availability of the whole life cycle of the design data, and gives full play to the effectiveness of the data; the use and maintenance data of the completed ships can be fed back to the shipbuilding enterprises. guide enterprises to improve product design, improve product quality, enhance the core competitiveness of enterprises.

In addition to the management of product life cycle data and process, Huanghai shipbuilding PLM lifecycle system provides direct help to enterprise management and leadership decision-making. The system provides report and dashboard functions, ship management center and so on. The former makes statistics on the utilization rate and quantity of all kinds of spare parts, standard parts, manuals and problems in the form of drawings and tables, as well as statistical analysis of problems, maintenance and inspection; the latter makes statistical analysis on the inspection, planning, problem, drawing submission, ship delivery, maintenance and modification of all ship projects, providing the latest data and firsthand information for leaders' decision-making.

Joint scientific research is mutually beneficial and win-win

The whole life cycle management system of Huanghai shipbuilding PLM products adopts the joint scientific research mode of software companies and shipyards to achieve complementary advantages and win-win results.

In this subject, Huanghai shipbuilding provides application requirements and implementation environment. Through the input of the project, a collaborative integrated management platform supporting advanced shipbuilding mode is constructed. Huatian Software acts as a bridge for the transformation of scientific research achievements by making use of its advantages in software development, implementation and market. The two sides have formed a joint scientific research team consisting of four doctors, six masters and more than a dozen undergraduate researchers to tackle key problems in joint scientific research, solving a series of difficult problems from theory to application, and providing a relatively reliable guarantee for improving the academic level of the project.

At present, Huanghai Shipbuilding quality Management Office, project team, structural branch, pipe installation branch, machine installation branch, painting branch, internal installation branch, new shipbuilding plant and other departments have implemented inspection object management, inspection status management, inspection dispatching management, inspection report management and other functions. After user testing and trial operation, each department has been in normal operation for more than 3 months. At present, the inspection application of GL classification society ships is carried out in the PLM system, the inspector applies for inspection through the system, the quality management office obtains the inspection information in real time, dispatches the inspection, publishes the inspection problems and conclusions in time, so that the relevant personnel can know the inspection information of each ship in real time and improve the inspection quality and efficiency; at the same time, the system can count the more accurate inspection pass rate and provide the basis for leaders' management decision.

PDM user testing is carried out in the production design department, technical development department hull group, wheel unit, outfitting group and electrical group, focusing on authority management, ship structure management, document management in each design stage, drawing delivery and return management, etc.; project management user testing is carried out in the project team and production command center, focusing on project plan template management, project task decomposition, project progress monitoring and tracking and other functions. " The functions of ship inspection, design data design document management and project management are the work that we will make great efforts to complete in the near future. " Zhang Cangang introduced.

Information work is the pioneer to improve the R & D capability and management level of enterprises. China's shipbuilding has a long way to go from a big shipbuilding country to a shipbuilding power, and there is a lot of work to be done. Relying on information management is a shortcut for China's shipbuilding industry to catch up quickly. At the end of the interview, Zhang Cangang said confidently: "We believe that through close cooperation between the two sides, this project will certainly promote the informationization of the entire product life cycle of Huanghai shipbuilding, bring significant management and economic benefits to Huanghai shipbuilding, and provide a solid technical and management guarantee for us to complete sales revenue of 4 billion yuan in 2010."
