Application Configuration Team Purpose
Upon entering the detail design phase of all major shipbuilding programmes there is a requirement for programme specific parameters to be input and maintained in the systems which are used to design the product. This has been the case since the early use of CAD on LPD/LPH, Astute, CVF, Dreadnought and now SSN AUKUS. This has become ever more critical since our adaptation of PLM and now more than ever where our CAD & PLM applications are fully integrated. The Evolution of our organisation has resulted in this task being performed and managed across different departments within the organisation on different programmes. On SSN AUKUS this is currently a gap. The proposal is that the Application Configuration team will fill that gap. It is also recognised that on past programmes, Data Governance activities have been introduced at a point where Data Quality issues have started to affect the transition to build stage of the programme. Early implementation of a data governance capability is LFE we can harness and presents an opportunity to improve our overall programme performance.
Application Configuration Team Role
Responsible for deploying Submarines specifics parameters into the Toolset configuration to enable the proper use and expected data output from CAD & PLM. Where the team cannot directly affect configuration settings in the tool such as Server file based List of Values, the team will design and seek agreement of change processes with the required stakeholders to ensure such changes are made in a timely manner to support normal business operations. Responsible for the Ongoing upkeep of Submarines specific parameters within the toolset, making use of new features as they become available as the Toolset evolves. Using the experience gained while deploying and maintaining the Submarines Parameters into the toolset to establish data governance solutions to review, report and ensure Data Quality.
Your Role as Application Configuration Engineer
