The Application Of Critical Chain Project Management In Planning Management Of Ship Production

Planning management is an instructional task in shipbuilding projects, and properly-made plans smooth the process of production, enhance the usage ratio of the bottle neck resource and decrease the number of the uncertain factors. So it is the plans that determine the management level and the technical strength.Project management has developed tremendously in last half-century, and more and more project management techniques are applied in shipbuilding industry. Among the applications, most of them help enhance the product efficiency and the management level. In this dissertation, after the newly-put-forward technique-Critical Chain Project Management is studied deeply and adjusted according to the product condition, it is also applied into the planning management in shipyard.Firstly, the author analyzed the problems in planning management in today's shipbuilding industry and proposed the application of CCPM with the premise "the resource is limited" into planning management in ship yards.Secondly, the author improved traditional root square error method by structuring an improvement quotiety to determine the size of buffer. As a result, the defect that traditional method treats all factors without difference was resolved, and the CCPM was more properly adopted in production.What's more, in order to verify the CCPM is superior to the traditional method in balancing the bottle neck resource and shortening project time limits, the example of a 58000-ton bulk cargo carrier erection plan was used. By comparison of the plans made by CCPM and traditional method, the CCPM did better in balancing resource-usage-ratio and shortening the project limits. The conclusion that in-project CCPM can be applied in production was given.In the last chapter of this dissertation, the author proposed a method to assign the bottleneck resource between projects which was based on AHP, and made assigning resource more scientifically. Moreover, the author made some points about the obstacles of application of the multi-project CCPM and gave some reasonable candidate resolutions.
