Engineering Document Management Solution for Shipbuilding

Developed for designers, shipyards, suppliers and subcontractors

Delta Manager

Delta Manager is a document management solution that is developed specifically for shipbuilding industry to be used by the designers, shipyards, equipment manufacturers or subcontractors.

The software was developed for MESH’s sister company Delta Marine (Turkish Ship Design & Consultancy) to cover the needs such as definition and management of design documentation within a systemmatic as well as tracking the versioning and exchange of these documentation. During the development Delta Manager has become a platform where the management could be done for not only the design documentation but also every documentation, that can be standardized (naming, numbering, etc.) within a custom systemmatic (a folder structure) of the user company.

At the moment this solution is still being used in Delta Marine for the following purposes;

• Definition of the documentation systemmatic of ship design projects
• Usage of the design documentation, defined according to a shipbuilding standard, specific to projects
• Storage area for design documentation and all documents related to them
• Management of file exchanges (send & receive)
• Management of relationship, version, history and index fields of documents
• Assignments and follow up of tasks specific to documents
