Consultancy
We provide consulting and project management services across the marine industry. Our team works with shipyards, shipowners and other organizations that need experienced engineering and management expertise alongside or independent of design work.
Our consulting professionals have direct management experience from leading shipyards. That background means our advice is grounded in how shipbuilding actually works in practice, not just in theory.
Key Takeaways
- Elomatic provides consulting and project services to shipyards, shipowners and other marine industry clients.
- Our consulting team has direct management experience from leading shipyards.
- Services range from organizational consulting and process development to project management and on-site production support.
- We work both as an embedded partner within a client organization and as an independent consulting team.
Shipyard consulting and development
We work with shipyards on how they design, plan, and build vessels. Our team has directly supported shipyard management in developing new capabilities, implementing digital tools, and building more efficient design-to-build processes. We base our work on first-hand shipbuilding knowledge from people who have managed and worked in shipyard environments.
We have carried out shipyard consulting and development work in Finland, Germany, Poland and North America.
Consulting and organization development services include:
- Analysis of organizations, processes, and standards
- Development and implementation of design and production standards
- Digital tool evaluation, implementation, and administration including CAD, PLM, and ERP systems
- Integration of digital systems into design and production workflows
- Capability development for engineering and production teams
Process development
We develop and improve the processes used in design, procurement, and production. This includes defining new processes from scratch and the practical work of implementing them alongside an active program.
On the Canadian Coast Guard icebreaker program at Seaspan Vancouver Shipyard, process development has been a central part of our scope. We are working with the shipyard to develop standards and build design-to-build processes suited to the complexity of a first-of-class polar icebreaker program.
Process development services include:
- Design process development and standardization
- Procurement process development
- Production planning and process improvement
- Design-to-build interface development
- Standards development for new vessel programs
Project management
We provide project management for complex vessel programs, from the engineering phase through procurement, construction, and delivery. Our project managers have direct experience on demanding programs including polar icebreakers and large cruise vessels.
We can lead the full project management function on a program, or work as embedded project management support within a client’s own organization. Both models are in active use across our current programs.
Project management services include:
- End-to-end project leadership for newbuild and conversion programs
- Engineering coordination across multiple design disciplines and suppliers
- Procurement services and supplier management
- Schedule and cost management
- Site and commissioning services
- Reporting and stakeholder management
Production and construction support
Our production support team provides on-site engineering assistance during the construction phase of a vessel program. Shipbuilding is a complex process that requires consistent information management at the design-to-production interface, and we have developed a structured approach to this over more than 50 years of project work.
We provide assistance for turnkey contracts with scope and interface definitions, technical support in vendor estimation and selection, and change management services covering the process from design to production. Our quality control service uses 3D models and shared online review tools to unify review gates across the program.
Production support services include:
- On-site engineering assistance during construction
- Design-to-production interface management
- Scope and interface definitions for turnkey contracts
- Technical support in vendor estimation and selection
- Change management from design to production
- Quality control using 3D and shared review tools
- Site supervision and commissioning support
