Objective
The current situation in the maritime construction sector is characterized by an ever- increasing need for cooperation of shipyards, offshore constructors, equipment manufacturers, electrical engineering companies and supply industries. Company networks ext end from national to European level, with enhancing east and west cooperation through the purchase of shipyards and suppliers by European industrial conglomerates. It is vital to create a European Shipbuilding Area that can compete with the Far East, on the basis of innovative products and business processes. Application of standards is crucial for the development of innovative business practices and services in distributed engineering and manufacturing, and supply chain management.
The actual problem is that national initiatives on standards were not coordinated, leading to obstacles to application of innovative e-business solutions on a European level. Successful national initiatives on standards and good practices on how to use these standards to develop innovative business solutions have to be exchanged and disseminated on a European level. Proposed coordination activities comprise the inventory and evaluation of most promising open standards and their use in Best Practice studies in horizontal integration (cooperating shipyards) and vertical integration (in the supply chain). Findings are exchanged in intensive workshops, with focus on a common strategic agenda for the use of standards.
A handbook and an open course on application of standards are compiled and disseminated to improve business process design in the maritime sector. 15 partners from 10 countries are cooperating in the CA: experienced academics and consultants and business associations representing Industrial User Groups of yards and suppliers.
