Investment Example for investment involved in optimizing a tube-shop projected to fabricate 20 projects p.a.:
Savings Savings potential: Administrative side: Tasks can be performed in significantly less time, allowing fewer engineers to perform the job Constant status updates facilitate change management All reports can be created automatically
Savings Savings potential: Workshop side: It will be possible to reallocate approx. half the current workshop staff to other jobs (assembly, hull welding, ec.) Due to bending machines / flame-cutting, fewer t-branches, reducers and elbows will be needed Automatic welding machines for fittings (flanges, reducers, elbows, t-branches) Consistent fabrication quality facilitates testing and quality control Increased workplace safety, reducing risk of accidents

Example Manual / Automatic Data Preparation / Fabrication • Avg. 5 spools / drawing • Avg. 2000 drawings / project • 20 project p.a. • Drawings are split into logical spools, spool data is documented (Bills of Material, work sheets, etc.), balanced work packages are created based on capacities and schedule. Actual savings may differ, based on project details April 2012 16
Savings Savings potential: • Administrative: • Assuming a constantamountofdrawings / project, andaveragecostsof 25 € per man-hour, at 20 projectssavingsofapprox. 850,000 € couldbefeasible: • Spool splittingisconsistentandlogical • All billsof material andorderformsarecreatedautomatically • All reportsaregeneratedautomatically • All CNC dataaregeneratedandautomaticallytransferredtothemachines • All workpackagesarecreatedbasedautomatically, makingthebestuseofmachinecapacitiesandreducingscrapandretoolingtimes
Savings Savings potential: Bending: Internal investigation by the customer has estimated a savings of approx. 100,000 € per project. just by using bending machines (includes cutting and grinding). Assuming a slightly lower ratio of bending (60%), it should still be possible to achieve savings of 90,000 € per project, or almost 1.8 Million € p.a.
Savings Savings potential: Welding / Flame-cutting:
Savings Savings potential: • Operating costs: • Utilities (electricity, water, sewage) • Consumables (weldinggases, pressurizedair, shot-blasting material) • Hardware, software installation, operatortraining • Total operatingcosts: approx. 250,000 € p.a.
