The Challenge
The opportunity is to eliminate Scope found after the barge opens, a slot that costs a peak week, and a boat that fails mid-tow. The proposed workflow is source-linked, but the current operating baseline and financial value remain illustrative until validated with the client.
How It Works
- A predicted scope and cost for each barge before it enters the yard, from age, hull class, cargo history, route, last survey findings and sister-barge outcomes, so San Jac Marine and the third party yards book the right steel and days.
- Beside it a slot plan that sequences yards and weeks to lose the fewest revenue barge days.
- Boundary: only yard days, the yard cost, and the marine repair KDS does on Kirby hulls.
What It Removes
- Scope found after the barge opens
- A slot that costs a peak week
- A boat that fails mid-tow
