SPADES SYSTEM CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS

For enhancement of the SPADES system three new modules are currently planned and under development: 1. Ship Production and Control Module (SPAC). A management information system which utilizes the information collected on the SPADES Data Base. 2. Detail Engineering Module (DEMO). A module that is designed not only to produce engineering drawings, but to aid in data collection and consequent loading of the data base with information generated by the Engineering Department. 3. Pipe Length and End-Cuts Program (PLEC). A special program to aid in fabrication of complex three-dimensional pipe structures, which is of special interest to manufacturers of oil rig structures. The paper presents the basic data flows for these modules together with brief descriptions of the prerequisite inputs and some examples of the reports generated by the system.
