Today’s shipbuilding industry
has become more global than ever, with competition coming from all points of the
compass. In order to survive, shipyards are quickly recognizing that they must
change and improve the way they do business.

Modern shipbuilding is a more
complicated process than in the past. The manufactured product represents
an assembly of many expensive parts and components. Before a ship can be
delivered, many people, from designers and engineers to purchasing agents,
vendors, suppliers, planners, and tradesmen need to be organized and their
efforts properly sequenced. And while new building methods such as modular
construction and group technology manufacturing have reduced costs and shortened
construction time, they require intensive planning and management controls in
order to be successful.
SPAR has been on the cutting
edge of the changing shipbuilding industry for many years. Our systems help
shipyards coordinate their resources and give management better visibility of
problems long before they become critical. These systems have become easier to
use and provide the necessary thread of communications that binds together all
departments of the shipyard so that they can perform more productively and
profitably.
In addition to offering our
software products, SPAR provides independent cost estimating as a service to
design agents, ship owners and to government agencies. These estimates have
proved to be valuable cross-checks to help ensure that the client better
understands the full potential costs of a new acquisition or ship repair/upgrade
program.
SPAR's
PERCEPTION® systems are being used for new construction and ship repair, for
commercial and naval contracts as well as for plant overhead cost management.
