Manufacturing leaders will play a central role in achieving the ambitious design-and-build plans in both naval and commercial shipping. However, they face a number of key challenges that risk impeding the operational efficiency of marine engineering.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Every hour lost across quality inspection, supply chain delays, Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) can feel painful for manufacturing leaders, at a time when contracts are demanding faster production with lower budgets.<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Here are three opportunities to make time work harder on your behalf.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b4cbe47 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b4cbe47\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">1.

Moreover, mistakes are unavoidable when your teams are having to assure and ensure the operational capability and safe compliance of critical systems and components.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It doesn\u2019t have to be that way. To improve accuracy and accelerate this process, manufacturing leaders need to modernise their approach. Leaders from across sectors are increasingly turning to automated visual inspections to spot defects on their production lines. Shifting away from manual to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/expleo.com\/global\/en\/case-studies\/increase-accuracy-with-ai-manufacturing\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">AI-based inspections<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> can make a dramatic difference to their speed and accuracy.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Happily, the same technology can be used in the marine industry. For instance, a camera-based AI system can check platform compartments against their design intent. If a defect is identified, the system will automatically identify it for attention. Not only does this lead to a huge labour-saving benefit, catching defects early reduces the risk of costly corrections later in your production process.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-08eaf28 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"08eaf28\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Navigating success<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0ace684 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0ace684\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Similar to marine, visual inspection is\u202fcrucial to\u202fautomotive manufacturing.

And if a supplier fails to deliver a part, or it turns up with a defect, a whole project can quickly become derailed \u2014 leading to spiralling costs and the need for reworked plans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">As a manufacturing leader, these disruptions can feel like a bolt out of the blue \u2013 and prove destabilising. In reality, there are ways to prepare for (rather than react to) any sudden issues that may result in a significant impact. But how?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Supply chain resilience is always built on a bedrock of data. By harnessing new digital tools, marine organisations can evaluate historic data, monitor real-time supply chain activity, and apply predictive analytics to improve demand forecasting. Instead of being blindsided, a data-driven approach empowers teams to identify issues and critical single points of failure ahead of time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Adopting parallel supply chain strategies can help you further build resiliency. In times of disruption, they give you the flexibility to quickly source parts and components from alternate sources, providing a buffer to reduce the impact on production.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-179c02e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"179c02e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Navigating success<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2fbf2b1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2fbf2b1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">By <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/expleo.com\/global\/en\/case-studies\/forecast-supply-chain-data\/?utm_source=interactive_content&amp;utm_medium=pdf&amp;utm_campaign=asd_marine_now&amp;utm_content=supplychain_case_study\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">implementing predictive analytics in their supply chain<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, we helped a major industrial firm in the\u00a0 defence sector to streamline their sourcing of vital semiconductors during the global shortage.
