Complex projects need to face the challenges of the future (already present), implementing solutions to improve the competitiveness of the value chain and establish a differentiating competitive advantage in the framework of the "fourth industrial revolution". Integration of information and communication technologies (ICT) in the production processes, incorporating the innovation that is taking place in the field of digital technologies, allows to develop in organizations a vision that covers the implementation of necessary strategies to achieve excellence.
Thanks to the "Connected Industry 4.0" initiative, trying to increase added value and qualified employment in industrial sectors, favor the model for the future industry and improve competitiveness to boost exports, Navantia SA SME (Navantia), a Spanish public company dedicated to civil and military shipbuilding, promotes a digital transformation plan, which aims to consolidate it around the concept of "Shipyard 4.0", essential for its sustainability. Digitization, automation, exploitation and integration of functional and business requirements of complex projects like naval platforms, is a "differential lock lever" which makes it possible to place Navantia at an advantage against current globalization and allows it to face with greater guarantees next milestones.
Improvement of results in three Navantia complex projects of naval platforms (developed in the productive center of the San Fernando shipyard), in terms of digital maturity is conclusive, thanks to a requirements management model implementation, exportable to other types of projects in the shipbuilding sector and industrial sectors, in the context of Industry 4.0.
