CASES
On behalf of a shipyard, ShipPalette orchestrated cost & complexity process of architectural design in a prototype cruise ship.
Background:
In a cruise ship contract, the level of complexity (and thus cost) of the architectural design is tied to a previously built area in an existing ship. When the architectural design is developed, the involved stakeholders (ship owner, shipyard, outfitting contractor) need to come to agreement on the final design and whether it is identical to the contractual level or below or above, and by how much.
SP assignment:
ShipPalette was assigned to carry out the cost & complexity process for the architectural design of guest public areas (indoor & outdoor) and guest suites as well as for crew public areas and officer cabins/suites.
What SP offered:
Gained results:
Level of complexity and cost of final design intent clarified, and agreed with all parties so that the building process of areas can continue.
On behalf of a shipyard, ShipPalette coordinated loose furniture sourcing in a prototype cruise ship.
Background:
A cruise ship being like a floating city, has a multitude of venues. When each venue has many furniture types, the number of types can mount to hundreds and total quantity of units to thousands. The furniture must fill many requirements: fit the overall look and feel of the venue, chairs must be comfortable, furniture must be durable, easy to maintain, fit dimensional constraints to allow required capacity, and to fit in the budget. To find pieces that fill the requirements is a puzzle that often requires many manufacturers and vendors.
SP assignment:
ShipPalette was assigned to plan, schedule, and carry out the loose furniture sourcing process for chairs, sofas, and tables in guest public areas (indoor) and guest suites as well as for crew public areas and officer cabins/suites.
What SP offered:
Gained results:
Loose furniture was delivered:
• on time
• on agreed budget
• fulfilling the design intent
• with required comfort and quality
