MADE for Seaworthiness

Demonstrate, document and deliver seaworthiness with confidence.

MADE provides a model-based, integrated engineering environment that automates and streamlines the generation of seaworthiness artefacts, helping maritime teams connect certification evidence directly to engineering analysis.

Model-Based Simulation Integrated digital engineering analysis.
Failure Identification Automated failure and risk insight.
Traceability Decision logic linked to model data.
Analysis Quality MQI, annotations and evidence confidence.
Digital Risk Twin Risk model evolves across the lifecycle.

The Challenge

Traditional seaworthiness evidence is too often disconnected from engineering analysis.

Achieving seaworthiness certification is essential for maritime systems, but traditional methods often rely on disconnected, manual documentation that lacks traceability to engineering analysis. This creates risks, rework and delays across design and approval processes.

MADE connects certification artefacts to the model that created them.

MADE supports design, verification and certification concurrently by generating seaworthiness artefacts from the system model, backed by traceable data, decision logic and analysis quality evidence.

Certification Decision Support

Certify with confidence using model-based engineering evidence.

MADE enables early and ongoing assessment of seaworthiness-related risks using engineering artefacts built directly from the system model. Each artefact is digitally linked to model parameters for traceability and quality assurance.

Analyse
Generate engineering analyses from the model, including FMEA, FTA and RCM outputs.
Annotate
Track parameter decisions, rationale, source quality and confidence levels.
Assure
Use the Model Quality Index and reporting framework to reinforce trust in analysis outputs.
Demonstrate
Produce traceable seaworthiness artefacts for design, verification and approval processes.
Key Benefits

Build a stronger digital foundation for seaworthiness compliance.

MADE’s model-based safety analysis approach helps maritime teams improve analysis consistency, reduce rework and maintain traceable certification evidence.

1

Integrated simulation

Use model-based simulation to connect system behaviour, failure logic and certification artefacts.

2

Automated failure identification

Identify failures and understand how they progress through complex maritime systems.

3

Traceable risk capture

Capture risk, decisions and supporting evidence in a structured, auditable digital environment.

4

Knowledge transfer

Support continuity across teams through a GUI-based knowledge capture and transfer framework.

5

On-demand artefacts

Generate engineering artefacts directly from the system model as the design evolves.

6

Lifecycle risk insight

Create a Digital Risk Twin that evolves with the system through design, sustainment and operations.

Seaworthiness Analysis Workflow

How MADE supports seaworthiness.

MADE generates engineering analyses, demonstrates analysis quality and connects certification evidence to the underlying Digital Risk Twin.

Engineering analysis generated from the MADE model

Engineering Analysis

Generate FMEA, Fault Tree Analysis and RCM analysis directly from the system model.

Demonstrate seaworthiness analysis quality with MADE annotations

Demonstrate Analysis Quality

Track parameter decisions, annotate model logic, review model quality and document analysis confidence.

FMEA and FMECA seaworthiness analysis

FMEA / FMECA

Leverage the functional and physical model to identify and track failures through the system.

Fault Tree Analysis for seaworthiness root cause analysis

Fault Tree Analysis

Perform root cause analysis from failure cause to end-effect using model-based fault logic.

RCM maintenance plan for seaworthiness

RCM / Maintenance Plan

Use RCM analysis to generate appropriate maintenance plans in response to system failures.

Annotations and model quality reporting for seaworthiness

Annotations / Analysis Quality

Use Model Quality Index reporting and annotations to reinforce confidence in generated analyses.

Digital Risk Twin

The future of seaworthiness evidence is connected, traceable and model-based.

MADE enables the creation of a Digital Risk Twin — a dynamic model of failure and risk that evolves with the maritime system throughout its lifecycle and design iterations.

Design Capture system structure, failure logic and engineering decisions during design.
Certification Generate evidence and artefacts to support seaworthiness approval processes.
Sustainment Connect engineering analysis to maintenance planning, operations and lifecycle feedback.
Analysis Quality

Trust the artefact because you can trace the evidence behind it.

MADE introduces a Model Quality Index and rich annotation framework to reinforce trust in every analysis.

Justification

Capture the rationale for every design or analysis decision.

Configuration Management

Document who made the decision, when it was made and how the model has changed.

Data Integrity

Validate the source and confidence level of every input used in generated analyses.

Key Seaworthiness Analyses

Generate engineering analyses on demand from the model.

MADE helps teams produce the core analyses needed to demonstrate seaworthiness and support maritime design decisions.

FMEA / FMECA

Identify failures and how they progress through the system.

  • Failure mode identification.
  • Failure progression modelling.
  • Functional and physical model linkage.

Fault Tree Analysis

Perform root cause analysis to find the initiating cause of system failures.

  • Cause-to-effect traceability.
  • Cut-set generation.
  • Root cause analysis from model logic.

RCM / Maintenance Plan

Develop maintenance plans that respond to system failure behaviour.

  • Maintenance planning evidence.
  • Failure response logic.
  • Operational sustainment alignment.

Annotations / Analysis Quality

Generate quality reports to support trust in seaworthiness analyses.

  • Model Quality Index.
  • Decision annotations.
  • Data source and confidence tracking.
