Information technology in the United Shipbuilding Corporation

IT Strategy to 2021

In 2016, USC approved the group's information technology development strategy for 2017-2021 years. The corporation told about this in the annual report published in August 2017^[1]. The goal of the new strategy is to create a single information space to support the execution of the strategic tasks of the corporation, as well as the transition "from a formacentric to a datacentric approach" in IT and processes, the report says.

The strategy includes a number of key projects. One of them is the creation of a unified system for monitoring and monitoring production activities, within the framework of which in 2016 a unified system was developed for monitoring and managing projects for the construction of ships, ships and other marine equipment facilities, which provides control over the timing and quality of construction. In 2017, it is planned to develop a unified project management methodology and select a platform for project management, as well as develop modules for integration with other information systems of USC societies.

Another major project within the framework of the IT strategy is the creation of the USC group treasury system. In 2016, the first stage was completed - monitoring the flow of funds and controlling the payments of USC companies of the pilot circuit (Baltic Plant - Shipbuilding, KNRG Projects, SZ Lotus, etc.). In 2017, the financial planning unit should be introduced and the system should be replicated in all companies of the group.

The third of the key projects is the creation of a unified system of regulatory reference information. In 2016, the development phase of the draft design of this system was completed, and in 2017 work continues on the formation of centralized information on all nomenclature items for procurement activities, product data management, SPTA accounting and item classification.

Among the projects are also the creation of a typical electronic-digital model of the vessel, the development of a unified Russian format for storing design documentation and an industry model for transmitting data on the design of marine equipment. In 2016, private TK were developed for the creation of an information model of a marine equipment object using the example of an icebreaker, for a single unified solution for storing design data, for the development of basic requirements for presenting data in various CAD systems for transfer to a single unified solution for storing design data, a 3D model of an electronic digital model of the central compartment of the icebreaker. In 2017, the project continues.

In addition, as part of the new IT strategy, USC plans to create an information and reference system for maintaining a database of spare parts, tools, and accessories for military products, which USC produces for export and the creation of a technical backlog to automate the maintenance and repair of ships delivered for export and for the Navy. In 2016, documents were developed and agreed on this project, technical design was carried out, system layout and data arrays loaded.

The strategy also involves the introduction of a corporate data network. By mid-2017, the design and delivery of data center equipment of the general service center was carried out, a Wi-Fi network was deployed in the USC office, and an internal corporate portal was deployed and commissioned.

Interview with USC CIO for TAdviser

In August 2017, USC IT Director Anton Dumin in an interview with TAdviser spoke about why strict centralization and full import substitution in the shipbuilding industry are impossible.

Agreement with "1C"

In June 2017, at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, USC and 1C entered into an agreement on cooperation in the field of information technology and the use of 1C software. The Agreement envisages the development and implementation of a programme of projects in three main areas:

• development of concepts, identification of priority areas and functional areas for USC automation;
• development of roadmaps and development programmes in the field of IT and automation of USC activities;
• development and replication of centralized, template, corporate and other information systems based on 1C software, which provide automation of USC activity processes.

To implement the program of projects within the framework of USC, it is planned to create its own competence center for 1C products.

USC notes that the choice of a Russian developer of enterprise management systems is an important element of the corporation's IT strategy, taking into account the principles of import substitution of software.

One of the priority tasks facing USC is to ensure the quality and timing of the creation of marine equipment corresponding to the world level. The active use of the sanctions mechanism by the countries of Europe and America requires us to take additional measures to prevent the corresponding risks. Therefore, we consider it important to partner with the Russian manufacturer of enterprise management systems, the use of Russian software and Russian best management practices, "said USC President Alexei Rakhmanov.

By the time of signing the agreement, a number of subsidiaries and affiliates of USC and their divisions are already using various solutions on the 1C: Enterprise 8 platform to support their business processes.
