A modern ship is a complex system and, when tackling a new design, a systematic approach is essential if you want to end up with a cost-efficient, safe, and environmentally friendly ship. Hence, there is a need for thorough Systems Engineering. In our projects, we normally use the international Standard ISO/IEC 15288 Systems Engineering – System Life Cycle Processes, which we tailor to suit the ambition level in each project. The processes of current interest in the early life cycle stages in a typical ship design project include:

Project Management Processes

• Planning Process
• Assessment Process
• Control Process
• Decision Making Process
• Risk Management Process
• Configuration Management Process

Technical Processes

• Stakeholder Requirements Definition Process
• Requirements Analysis Process
• Architectural Design Process
• Implementation Process
• Integration Process
• Verification Process
• Validation Process
