ASC (formerly known as Australian Submarine Corporation) has been recognised as Australia’s only shipbuilder that is also a warship technical design authority through its latest designer scorecard.
The score is a measure of a number of criteria as determined by representatives of
Electric Boat, ASC’s capability partner, and the US Navy as competencies required by a capable warship designer.
ASC’s achievement of its warship ‘designer’ status is the credibility basis for ASC’s submarine and shipbuilding business going forward, and will underpin the value of ASC in the future.
Greg Tunny, Managing Director of ASC, said the achievement follows more than two years of hard work, monthly assessments, doubling engineering staff numbers and revamping ASC’s engineering processes and procedures.
“ASC now has an engineering organisation with the size, depth, breadth and experience to be a capable warship designer,” said Mr Tunny.
“This achievement recognises ASC’s institutionalised processes and procedures, and the rigour to follow them, which is paramount in the ongoing provision of quality products to the
Royal Australian Navy.”
ASC’s ‘designer’ status also recognises the company’s effective program management capabilities, which ensure an ongoing positive relationship with its customer for accurate forecasting of Defence requirements.
“The benefits this milestone brings to ASC’s business practices and its customer outcomes are numerous,” said Mr Tunny.
“Most importantly, ASC is now formally recognised as having a repository of people with all the skills required to competently handle any significant submarine or shipbuilding requirement.”
