• Shipbuilding, Semester 3, position 3

The aim of the course is to introduce the students with the basic methods and techniques of industrial engineering that can be used to increase efficiency and effectiveness in shipbuilding. The given methods and techniques will enable students to develop organizational and management skills for planning, budgeting, organizing, leading and controlling tasks, people and resources and managing quality, costs, time and risks in shipbuilding.

Successful completion of this course raises students' awareness of the importance of organizational and management skills in engineering activities and prepares them for commercial leadership in shipbuilding. The acquisition of knowledge in the field of basic - modern theoretical concepts and empirical methods and techniques in industrial engineering relevant to shipbuilding is emphasized.

Introduction to Industrial Engineering. Short-term, medium-term and long-term planning. SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats). Procurement planning. Organizational planning. Organizational structure. Method of balanced indicators (Balanced Scorecard). Quality planning. Quality and risk management standards. FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis). FTA (Failure Tree Analysis). Methods and technical project management. Gantt charts. Critical path method - CPM and PERT technique. Planning project risk management. Ishikawa diagram. Pareto method / diagram. Linear programming.

Practical exercises for the application of PERT and CPM methods, Gantt charts and linear programming techniques in a shipbuilding project. Workshop on clauses and system documents of quality standards and risk management (team work tasks). Each student implements each method / technique in an individual practical example, through exercises in the areas of PERT / CPM, Linear programming, Gantt chart, SWOT, BSC, Ishikawa-diagram, Pareto method/diagram, FMEA and FTA.

No preconditions required

Excerpts from lectures and instructions for exercises. The use of other literature is also recommended, especially during the preparation of exercises.
