Abstract
This paper describes some aspects of the application of STEP technology to the development of a data management system for a ship repair yard. The business process associated with ship repair activities implies a lot of data exchange between several companies, with different core businesses and organizations, using different software platforms and systems. In this activity, where the duration of the typical work is relatively small and the schedules are tight, the improvement of the communications between the actors involved is relevant. The system described here manages the information exchanged between ship owner and shipyard during the repair process, covering tendering, contract, production, and invoice phases. STEP technology was used not only for data exchange but also for the development of the persistent storage of data on an object-oriented database, driven by a formal EXPRESS-based schema.
