Abstract

An issue that arises during the execution of shipbuilding engineering projects at Royal IHC is an imbalance between the sum of all necessary engineering work, and all engineers that are employed who are available to execute the work. This research aims to develop a new method to help establish a proposal engineering work schedule forecast for all engineering work packages in custom trailing suction hopper shipbuilding projects at Royal IHC. To develop the input for the new method, regression analysis on usable historical engineering man-hour data was applied to develop models that quantify work, and curve fitting through the man-hour data was
applied to develop models that determine the timing of work.
