Shipbuilder selects IFS to support ship manufacturing business

IFS, a provider of enterprise resource planning solutions, has announced that Austal USA, a manufacturer of aluminum vessels, has chosen to implement IFS Applications to support its growing ship manufacturing business.

IFS Applications offers project-centric capabilities to be a good fit for shipbuilders around the globe. IFS functionality for project-driven manufacturing, earned value management, and service management allow shipbuilders to leverage lean manufacturing and financial processes and comply with government mandates.Cindy Jaudon, president and CEO of IFS North America, said: IFS Applications has been adopted by naval shipyards that are facing government mandates to adopt leaner project centric manufacturing processes. Commercial shipyards like Austal USA will not only benefit from adopting the technology behind these lean practices, but also optimize IFS Applications for their own business purposes rather than for regulatory compliance.
