How Arda Helps Davie Shipyard Automate Shop Floor Replenishment

Chantier Davie is one of Canada's largest shipbuilders. As VP of Operations, Raymond Burns Gallant manages complex, multi-stage builds where hundreds of consumables and parts need to flow to the right place at the right time.

In shipbuilding, a missing $5 part can stall a $50M project. Manual requisitions, paper-based tracking, and procurement bottlenecks create delays that compound across long build cycles. The shop floor knows what's running low; the procurement team finds out too late.

Bridge the gap between shop floor and procurement. Workers scan an Arda card when consumables run low, and POs fire automatically, skipping requisition forms and approval waits on standard items. Arda integrates with your ERP so procurement sees everything in real time.

For large-scale operations like Davie, Arda's zone-based Kanban means each area of the yard manages its own replenishment without central bottlenecks.
