ABSTRACT

In this study, a planning has been made for the tests to be carried out during the sea trial of a ship, which is near the end of the production process and whose factory acceptance and harbor acceptance tests have been completed. Sea trial tests and their approximate durations are derived from a real sea trial observation. The sea trial was viewed as a project in the study, and first, the tests to be carried out were accepted as an activity and listed. Then, the people who will conduct the tests are assigned as resources. Following that, the predecessor-successor relationships between the tests were investigated, and the ones that could be performed concurrently and without interfering with one another were identified. In this way, the necessary resource assignments for the tests were made and an appropriate sea trial schedule was tried to be obtained. In addition, the critical path for sea trial was determined by using the obtained schedule. Thus, the critical tests were identified. In addition, PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique) analysis was performed to calculate the expected value and standard deviation of the completion time of sea trial. Furthermore, probability of the different sea trial completion times are calculated with the help of the standard z table. Here, six different probability values are determined for six different sea trial times. Additionally, with a sea trial schedule prepared, the amount of work falling on each resource during the sea trial was calculated separately. Additionally, the amount of work falling on each resource is calculated separately. As in the practice in this study, it is thought that the sea trial can be completed more successfully by planning the sea trial first and acting in accordance with this plan.
