Case Study: Irving Shipbuilding achieves single source of truth for capacity planning with BigBear.ai Shipyard AI

Single Point of Truth for Capacity Planning

Irving Shipbuilding faced significant challenges in capacity planning at its modernized Halifax Shipyard, including a lack of a single source of truth, excessive manual effort, and static systems that hindered growth. They engaged vendor BigBear.ai to overcome these obstacles and develop an automated enterprise capacity planning tool that could handle dynamic what-if scenarios and improve facility utilization.

BigBear.ai implemented its Shipyard AI solution, a cloud-based application that provides an optimization-based automated capacity planner. The results delivered by BigBear.ai included reduced fabrication costs, a de-risked schedule, and the ability to rapidly respond to rebaselining scenarios. The implementation was completed in under five months, on budget and ahead of schedule, providing Irving Shipbuilding with stable production plans and predictable operations.
