CUSTOMISED PROJECT MANAGEMENT METHODS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS IN SHIPBUILDING PROJECTS

CUSTOMISED PROJECT MANAGEMENT METHODS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS IN SHIPBUILDING PROJECTS

Shipbuilding is a project type production, which creates a unique product. Building such a unique product requires many processes to be managed orderly and carefully. Therefore, a systematic project management methodology is essential to complete the project on time and using the proposed resources. In this study, the utilization, practicality and usefulness of PMI Project Management Institute project management methodology, in shipbuilding project management is investigated. The first section of the study includes the purpose, scope and related literature review. In the second section, the general knowledge is given about the project management standards. The third section covers the discussion of each PMI project management process for shipbuilding projects in Turkish shipyards. The conclusion and recommendations are given in the final part of the study
