The Challenge

Track design changes made to 50 000 drawings as well as the approval history thereof

The Response

The 50 000 drawings plus related transmittals were uploaded into Docwize

Relevant data was extracted from the documents:

•  from the drawings, revision dates and details
• from the transmittals:
  • who the drawings were sent to and when
  • the reason for issue and status of the drawings
  • the date of response and comments

Timelines were generated to highlight the flow of information and turn-around times.

Reports were produced with drill downs to the supporting drawings and transmittals.

Visual analytics were used to demonstrate the planned versus actual timelines and the impact of approval times thereon.

The Result

The client was provided with a complete history of every drawing which was integral to the settling of the dispute.
