About the client
A mid-sized naval shipbuilder—delivering marine and combat vessels to defense clients worldwide—faced limitations in their planning & control approach. The lack of an integrated planning methodology hindered transparency on project bottlenecks, critical paths, and interdependencies, making it harder to control timelines and costs across global programs.
The challenge
Despite operating in a high-value, complex engineering environment, the organization’s planning methods did not fully support the needs of internal stakeholders or external partners. Key challenges included:
- Limited visibility across project phases and disciplines
- Fragmented planning tools and ad hoc reporting
- Insufficient control over resource and supplier alignment
A unified, structured approach was needed to support enterprise-wide project planning and execution.
The project
In close collaboration, EyeOn and the shipbuilder:
- Developed and implemented an integrated planning methodology, tailored to the defense maritime project environment
- Introduced supporting tools, templates, and reporting structures to align departments and subcontractors
- Trained over 100 employees across functions and roles to ensure effective adoption
- Delivered a detailed, documented framework embedded across the organization—spanning engineering, procurement, manufacturing, and logistics
This shift enabled a seamless connection between high-level planning and on-the-ground execution, with strong stakeholder ownership.
Results
The shipbuilder now operates with an integrated planning capability across the entire business, including subcontractors and supply chain partners. The result:
- Improved transparency on critical paths and resource constraints
- More proactive control over project delivery and dependencies
- Stronger collaboration and alignment across global teams
- Planning and reporting aligned to real project needs, from strategy to execution
