AVEVA Group plc Analyst Notes
On June 10, 2014, AVEVA Group plc (AVEVA) announced the publication of a new business paper - 'Engineering & Design for Lean Shipbuilding'. In the paper, AVEVA examines how engineering and design information can be readily shared to enable a highly efficient, concurrent workflow that progressively refines a design in a controlled, iterative manner to ensure 'right-first-time' fabrication and assembly. Bruce Douglas, Senior Vice President, EDS Strategy & Marketing, AVEVA, said, "AVEVA's Engineering and Design for Lean Shipbuilding enables shipbuilders to achieve a fully refined design before it goes to fabrication and assembly, avoiding costly rework. This can only be achieved if all engineering disciplines are working together in the same integrated process. Information integration must be pervasive. Engineering and design information status has to be presented in a commonly agreed manner and each engineer should be able to see changes to the design quickly."
