Tailor-made for shipbuilding

In order to build, maintain or supply components for ships and offshore

installations, you have to master the trade. So does your software supplier.

MultiPlus Solutions has 30 years of experience in the shipyard and sub-

supplier industry, and the ERP/business system MultiPlus Shipbuilding

Solution manages the total business process, from pre-calculations of a

new ship to repair projects until the ship has been completed.

In SyMbIoSIS wIth the MarItIMe

InduStry

MultiPlus Shipbuilding Solution is owned

and delivered by MultiPlus Solutions AS.

In MultiPlus Solutions, you get a supplier

that has been in a symbiotic relationship

with the maritime sector for decades. The

MultiPlus Shipbuilding Solution system is

fundamentally tailor-made for shipyards

and sub-suppliers, while the MultiPlus

Solutions consultants have developed a

unique understanding for the trades and

needs of their customers, ever since our

first shipyard customer was established

in 1979. To us, this trade knowledge is a

crucial competitive advantage, as adapting

an ERP system to the needs of the maritime

sector is neither a simple nor an inexpen-

sive task. Ask anyone who has ever tried!

becoMe a Partner In the MarItIMe

cluSter

The MultiPlus Shipbuilding Solution is a

broad trade solution that is adjusted to

satisfy the specific needs of each customer.

The system is currently in use on three

continents. All customers have stringent

requirements and provide us with inputs

for further developments. Through this

procedure, our customers become our most

important developmental partners, and

together we constitute an exciting and

unique maritime cluster. As MultiPlus Solu-

tions both owns and implements MultiPlus

Shipbuilding Solution, the road from valu-

able input to implementation in the standard

system is short. As customer, you become

an important partner in the maritime cluster

that is comprised of all the customers, and

you will benefit from the system develop-

ments on a continuous basis.

an InveStMent to ProfIt froM

Many customers report that their investment

in MultiPlus Shipbuilding Solution has been

returned several times, financially speaking.

In addition, there are advantages in terms of

efficiency-improvement, improved working

environments, as manual routines are made

more efficient, reporting in due time, correct

recipients and desired formats, simplified

document distribution and control etc.

MultiPlus Shipbuilding Solution administers the complete business

process at shipyards and sub-supplier locations, from pre-calculations

to completion of new constructions and repair projects.

«In many ways, we are more of a

partner than a customer of MultiPlus

Solutions. The system plays a key role

in our business operations and

developments. Therefore, it is crucial

that we do not enter into a static

position, but rather that the system

develops through the assistance of

users and customers, many of which

are our competitors. There exists a good

professional environment surrounding

MultiPlus and a continuous develop-

ment of the standard system, which all

parties benefit from. We do not desire a

specialised solution.»

Increasingly more shipping companies

require their suppliers to use systems simi-

lar to MultiPlus Shipbuilding Solution, to

ensure the desired progress and reporting

during the project.

a coMPlete, Integrated and

Modular erP SySteM

MultiPlus Shipbuilding Solution is one of

few ERP systems on a global scale that

attends to all functions in a company, either

directly or through integration with special

systems. Some competing systems merely

manage a selection of industry-specific

tasks, requiring you to invest in additional,

large solutions. MultiPlus Shipbuilding

Solution, however, covers your total need.

The system is modular and can be expand-

ed with new modules whenever the need of

new functionality arises. It attends to the complete business process from pre-calculations

of a new ship and repair work, via multi-version document and drawing management, to

all procurement procedures, including project management, project supervision, finance

and HR. All system modules are fully integrated, and are thus using the same database.

Therefore, data is registered or created only once, and is immediately available in the vari-

ous modules. This creates great potential for major information efficiency, accuracy and

availability.

Strengthened collaboratIon between Internal and external reSourceS

Normally, shipbuilding projects undergo major alterations during each project. There

are several parties involved, including classified company, shipping company, construc-

tion engineer (�D, CAD etc.), project management, purchase/logistics, management and

personnel – and MultiPlus Shipbuilding Solution is a contributor in allowing everybody to

share information and collaborate in a flexible manner.

SIMPlIfIed coMMunIcatIon and control

In many shipyards, ships are constructed from scratch. Other yards may outsource up

to 80 percent of the production to sub-suppliers. Such shipyards have become logistics

enterprises with an increasing need of stringent project management. Nevertheless, the

ProfItable InforMatIon SharIng/

knowledge ManageMent

Our trade knowledge is also apparent

through the design of the system solutions

in relation to communication and informa-

tion sharing/knowledge management.

When it comes to shipbuilding, there is no

such thing as «simply starting» over if you

make a mistake. If production is initiated on

the wrong basis, the consequences can be

dramatic. MultiPlus Shipbuilding Solution

ensures that everybody is operating on the

basis of the same drawing and document

revisions.

Allow us to provide you with an example: A

shipyard constructs engine mountings for

the main engine. At the same time, someone

orders another type of engine than the one

that was originally expected. What do you do?

You would have to cut open the engine room

and construct new parts. This will cause

delays, additional costs, and discussions. The

importance of good information sharing on

all levels can never be exaggerated. What if

deliveries are made too late – or too early?

Where will it be stored? How many times

must it be relocated at the shipyard until it is

put into use? Who should be responsible for

doing this? How should the additional and

unnecessary liquidity load be managed?

In short, MultiPlus Shipbuilding Solution

ensures that all project participants receive

information at the same time, and enables

early tracking and correction of discrep-

ancies that may become time and cost

demanding.

«To ensure earnings, we need a tool

that focuses on logistics management

and cost control. MultiPlus Shipbuild-

ing Solution is particularly strong within

these fields.»

responsibility conditions have not changed

considerably. A shipyards risks being fined

by the shipping company if delivery does

not occur in due time. Therefore, wait-

ing around for a central component to be

delivered is not an option; the shipyard

needs continuous insight into the project

status. MultiPlus Shipbuilding Solution

can contribute in this regard. The system

can be directly integrated with the ERP

solutions of the sub-suppliers, or indirectly

integrated through our e-Procurement

solution. Middleware solutions allow the

system to be used on portable terminals

such as PDAs, mobile phones, barcodes

and mobile PCs. Moreover, you can set the

system up to register the preferred means

of communication for each project partici-

pant, e.g. e-mail, XML, fax, letter. You can

issue one notice, and it will automatically

be delivered in the correct format.

In other words, MultiPlus Shipbuilding

Solution will serve as the effective com-

munication solution you have been wishing

for in the project.

When production processes have been

suppliers use the yard as their working

base. This is not free of charge. MultiPlus

«We have great faith in MultiPlus Solu-

tions’ long experience and competence

in our sector. The company has strong

references and good relations with

leading shipyards. The challenges of

modern shipbuilding are universal

when it comes to process and project

management, ERP and logistics. We

want to invest in MultiPlus Solutions’

competence in this field.»

Simon liangCEO, SinoPacific Shipbuilding Group,

P.R. China

Shipbuilding Solution includes functionality for storage rental management, rental/use of

the shipyard’s employees, rental of tools and machinery etc. The system puts costs and

income where it belongs.

for the MarItIMe Sector

MultiPlus Shipbuilding Solution is a specialised version of the ERP system MultiPlus.

In the development of MultiPlus, the needs of the maritime sector have had a central

position. MultiPlus can be used by shipyards and the sub-supplier industry, but also by

companies that run another type of business. For example, owners/parent companies

can consolidate their projects and financial accounts by using MultiPlus. There also exist

other production types in shipbuilding, such as assemble to order and serial production.

MultiPlus is capable of contributing in this area, as well. Moreover, when a ship leaves

the harbour, the operation can be managed by the system. MultiPlus is the main system

of both cruise ships and ferries with associated land-based organisations.

In other words, MultiPlus is the only system you need.

oPen PlatforM

MultiPlus Shipbuilding Solution is based on an open technology platform. This allows the

system to be easily integrated with other software, and makes it easy to choose databases

and hardware pursuant to customer preferences. Our consultants have comprehensive

experience in this area. We also sell technological solutions, and can assist in terms of

advice and guidance.

coMPetence IS crucIal

Competence and broad experience are cru-

cial elements in terms of planning and com-

pleting large and complicated ICT projects,

which the introduction of a new ERP system

really is. Our consultants know the industry

and the tasks at hand. With us, you will meet

people whose career often had

another starting point than ICT.

Project managers, financial man-

agers, managers in general – in

short, people who have been in

positions we recognise with our cus-

tomers, and who are familiar with the

industry’s relevant needs and opportuni-

ties. Not least, we are very familiar with

the importance of information sharing /

knowledge management functionality,

which are elements that are well attended to

in MultiPlus Shipbuilding Solution.

before you decIde

– talk to our cuStoMerS

Once, the media asked us to identify our

number one advice for companies that

are about to purchase an ERP system.

We answered: «Make a reference visit by

yourself, without having the ERP sup-

plier present». We stand by this advice.

Before you decide which ERP solution to

buy, we recommend that you visit one of

our reference customers alone and check

their experiences without having any of our

eager sales people around. In MultiPlus

Solutions, we are proud of the results we

have created together with our customers,

and we feel secure that such an experience

will be to our benefit.

teSt uS In a Pre-ProJect!

Are you left with a competing alternative

and us? Test us before you make your

final decision! The costs of completing

a pre-project are marginal compared to

the consequences of making the wrong

decision. Through a pre-project, you will

experience first hand how MultiPlus Ship-

building Solution and the people behind it

keep what we promise.

Structured IMPleMentatIon

In MultiPlus Solutions, we are known for

delivering on time and on budget. Obviously,

we have a great competitive advantage in

this area compared to other suppliers: we have a functionality that

has been tested and is ready for the shipbuilding industry, whereas

our competitors have to develop key functionality from scratch. This

takes time, especially if you need to build industry competence at the

same time.

Our consultants are familiar with the tasks at hand, and administer

a structured implementation and start-up. Ensuring that the com-

plete organisation being included is greatly emphasised. We run

projects pursuant to a detailed and thoroughly tested quality plan

which identifies areas of responsibility, tasks, qualitative targets,

milestones and approval procedures.

24/365 SuPPort

At request, our support unit can be at your disposal �� hours a day,

��� days a year. This service is offered to companies that operate

around the clock and thus may have continuous questions related

to system functionality. Most of our customers enter into support

agreements in which we are at their disposal within ordinary work-

ing hours and answer all questions related to use and operation of

the solution. An important advantage in having us as your supplier,

is the fact that the road from the support unit to the development

department is a short one. Also, what makes this industry truly

engaging and exciting, is the fact that an ERP system always needs

to continue to be developed pursuant to new customer desires

and needs. In this regard, the support unit serves as an important

source of information in relation to customer needs.

Even the most impressive ERP systems have little value

without a strong functionality and the right people behind

it. The MultiPlus Solutions consultants have long-standing

experience and understand the desires and needs of the

shipbuilding industry. This is crucial to reap the benefits of

implementing a new ERP system.

It all comes down to people and communication

Task Completing productions

and Document Management

ProJect calculatIonS

– where delIvery StartS

MultiPlus Project Calculations makes it

easier to create calculations that are accu-

rate, both in terms of price, delivery time,

quality and risk. Calculations can be based

on concrete quotations from sub-suppliers,

estimates or previous experience/post-cal-

culation. The system allows you to weight

the reliability of the partial prices in the

calculation, providing you with an idea of

the accuracy of the calculation. Moreover,

it will be possible to store and manage the

calculation revisions, and you will have

complete control of all documentation and

quotations from sub-suppliers. The solu-

tion also manages any currency changes.

By simulating and comparing the calcula-

tions, you are able to see the impact caused

by variations in input factors. A graphic

presentation provides you with a quick

overview of the calculation quality and the

project risk level. Due to the calculation sys-

tem being cubic, analyses may be based on

any dimension, e.g. department, WBS (work

breakdown structure), time and cost category.

A completely free structure and WBS create a basis of comparison between

various types of projects of various dimensions.

coMPlete control wIth SMall and large ProJectS

You are in for a flying start when the sales department’s project calcula-

tion easily can be converted into a project, ready for completion and with all

the underlying documentation fully available from day one. From this point,

MultiPlus Project takes over, a system which supports all processes related

to efficient project management, from project definitions to invoicing. The

system detects all types of transactions that concern project elements, and is

thus the central nerve in any status follow-up. You receive a complete liquid-

ity and internal interest calculation on each project. The system is closely

integrated with various planning tools, and has good and flexible reporting

tools combined with a number of query functions for analysis and project

follow-up. These features, in combination with the use of free, hierarchic tree

structures (WBS – work breakdown structures) in the project follow-up in

MultiPlus, will provide you with answers to your questions without you having

to define a large number of new reports and queries.

drawIng and docuMent ManageMent are crucIal ProJect

eleMentS

You often find that a project foundation is not complete; neither in terms

of budgeting or implementation, and working drawing revisions are made

during the course of the project. In addition, many shipyards experience

additional orders of approximately �-�0 percent. MultiPlus Drawing and

Document Management has proved to be crucial for many of our custom-

ers, and ensures that all shortages, modifications and additional orders are

documented whenever classified companies, shipping companies, shipyard

inspectors or others require revisions, which in turn allows the shipyard

invoice external parties in relation to performing these tasks. The system

ensures common storage, retrieval and control, which are contributing

factors in creating efficiency and cost-effectiveness in a project. The cor-

rect version of drawings and documentation are distributed worldwide in

the preferred means of the recipients, e.g. by fax, post, e-mail, or through a

project portal that is accessible to external and internal project participants.

Through integration with plotters, distribution packages with drawings can

automatically be plotted.

Project oriented production is what describes the shipyard and supplier

industry in a nutshell. With MultiPlus Project, you gain complete control of

all resources and project accounts for complex productions, enabling you

to measure cost-effectiveness in each total or partial delivery, and also in

the company in general.

fully Integrated ProJect and

logIStIcS

Information on purchases that are schedu-

led to take place at specific times goes

from Multi-Plus Project to MultiPlus

Logistics and the purchase department.

The logistics can constantly be monitored,

from supplier, via arrival at the project or

stock, to the components are mounted on

the building. The project workers, too, have

this continuous overview, making it

unnecessary for them to call upon the pur-

chase department to check status.

A number of purchases will be project-

specific at a shipyard. Therefore, MultiPlus

Logistics includes very flexible solutions

to accommodate the various types of

goods in a project and extensive use of the

solution’s unique project stock solution.

The solution can manage 999 different

stock numbers, and each of these can have

an unlimited number of location alterna-

tives. Functionality for duties and excise

management can also be included.

Logistics definitely includes physical man-

agement of components and items/delive-

ries. MultiPlus Solutions has long-standing

experience in integration with internal

transport systems and automatic and

manual storage solutions. For example,

MultiPlus Shipbuilding Solution can use

RFID identification. Using RFID (Radio Fre-

quency Identification), identification

occurs through the use of radio signals.

This provides a whole new level of flexi-

bility in terms of identification, tracing and counting compared to barcode technology.

MultiPlus Solutions is a research partner of RFID, which is a technology that opens pos-

sibilities of application in several other exciting areas as well.

drawIngS and fInance

Components are linked to MultiPlus Drawing and Document Management, making it pos-

sible to view them in �D or �D. Click the component and receive both financial data and

any related documentation. MultiPlus Logistics is adapted for substantial automation of

routines and electronic document flow. Sub-suppliers report status directly into the

logistics system. This can occur through direct integration with the supplier’s ERP

system, or via e-Procurement. Regardless of the means chosen, the solution leads to

complete overview and control in relation to logistics, including the logistics processes in

the suppliers’ section. Through simple efforts, report flexibility provides an overview of

the total picture and detailed information on specific units.

In the aIr

MultiPlus Middleware makes MultiPlus Shipbuilding Solution available on most portable

terminals. This makes it possible to participate in project completion through smart mobile

phones while being on vacation. It also includes the possibility of making the ERP system

available in the stock.

technIcal and fInancIal control wIth oPeratIng equIPMent

Machinery, buildings or vehicles are expensive resources that require efficient utilisation,

regular service and maintenance. MultiPlus Service and Maintenance ensures that service

and maintenance of operating equipment occurs at the right time, and that no equipment is

deteriorated or needs to be removed from operation unnecessarily. Thus, the system is an

important contributor in avoiding any stops in the project completion. Moreover, it can be

used to control the principal’s operating equipment, and through this create opportunities

of additional service deliveries.

Operating equipment is not free. Therefore, any use needs to be priced in and continuously

registered in projects. The Module MultiPlus Loan and Rental works as a complete library

system for operating equipment, and provides total traceability on all tools and other rental

objects distributed. Hence, loss and time spent searching can be reduced. All objects can

be classified into the exact categories used by the company, and it is easy to define the

employees that have authorised access. In a rental, e.g. to the sub-supplier operating at the

shipyard, invoices can be made automatically. The solution can be connected to the plant

and equipment register for automatic depreciation.

The shipbuilding industry consists of large-scale buyers who need to be

in complete control of small and large purchases. MultiPlus Logistics is

the perfect fit for MultiPlus Project. The system integrates all functions

that concern the flow of goods and has separate, powerful tools related to

order management, invoicing, stock control and purchase. Any document

flow related to customers can thus occur automatically.

Task Financial and administrative control and reporting

Modules MultiPlus Finance, MultiPlus Analyzer, MultiPlus HR/Payroll, Personnel and Travel

When an order is placed, this appears in the

project, allowing management to compare

costs against budget and control project

liquidity. The project liquidity function in

MultiPlus Shipbuilding Solution offers a

complete overview of suppliers’ payment

terms and future liquidity requirements. In

short: you have complete control of whether

there is sufficient liquidity to cover running

expenses, which ensures that deliveries, and

thus the project as a whole, does not stop.

rePortIng to all Involved PartIeS

The reporting solution allows you to specify

reports exactly as you wish. Through Multi-

Plus’ standard distribution functionality,

reports can automatically be issued in the

format and the through means desired by

the recipient. For example, authorities and

a parent company may receive the same

information electronically with different

formats and layouts, allowing the informa-

tion to be directly adopted in their sepa-

rate administration systems. Overall, the

functionality provides owners, managers

and authorities with a customised insight

into key information that is crucial in their

work related to the company.

Powerful tool for data analySIS

In terms of following up on the opera-

tion and development of a company, data

analysis is a key ingredient. MultiPlus

Analyzer provides you with easy access to

overall analyses, across the organisation

and in depth of a specified project. The

system can process data from the various

professional areas and processes in the

solution, and present the data as clearly

laid-out graphics, charts, and in relation

to organisational charts, geographic units

etc. The system creates a quick overview

of any situation, thus offering the pos-

sibility of quickly tracing and explaining

discrepancies. User-friendliness has been a key target during the development of this

tool, ensuring that you do not have to be a ICT expert to analyse data.

effectIve hr SolutIonS

To have highly motivated employees is one of the company’s most important competitive

advantages. With MultiPlus HR/Payroll, Personnel and Travel, you will have the tool you

need to administer a complex system of agreements across national borders. The system

offers full integration between project, payroll and accounts, and creates a foundation for

efficiency-improvement of routines and accuracy in all employee-related information.

Communication with authorities, banks and employees is fully automatic and seamless.

The system may be connected to various systems related to registration of hours. When the

employees have worked on different tasks, this will easily be attributed to the correct project.

This type of overview is not at least important in maintenance projects, where it is not possible

to define accurately in advance the amount of work that will be consumed. Then, documen-

tation is crucial, both in terms of reports and invoices to the customer. Moreover, the system

offers the possibility of creating a correct cost image. For example, the costs related to a

component will not just comprise the purchase price of the components, but also the time

consumed in relation to document management and stocking. Employees that travel may

register both hours and travel expenses over the Internet, and they also have the possibility of

establishing the associated work flow for approval routines. Overall benefits include the fact

that the project will always be updated as soon as hours and travels have been registered.

MultiPlus Finance provides you with the control information you

need, when you need it. The system covers finance, taxes and fees,

creditor, debtor, budget, plant and equipment archive and liquidity.

Financial accounts are continuously updated, based on transac-

tions across projects and units. Traceability is well attended to, and

the complete company history is easily available. Also, the system

provides unlimited budgeting opportunities. The finance solution

has the focus on the project and not administrative driven.

The business/ERP system MultiPlus Ship-

building Solution administers the complete

business process, from pre-calculations of a

new ship and repair work, via multi-version

document and drawing management, to all

procurement procedures, including project

management, project supervision, finance

and HR. The system includes competent

solutions for information sharing / know-

ledge management, which ensures that all

project participants operate from the same

drawing and document revisions, preven-

ting errors and costly delays.

The business system MultiPlus Shipbuilding

Solution has been developed and is being

further improved in close cooperation with

leading shipyards and suppliers worldwide.

The employees of MultiPlus Solutions – the

company behind the ERP system – are
