How you'll learn
100 % online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. No fixed timetables: students progress at their own pace within the intake, which makes it possible to combine the course with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is Primavera P6, Microsoft Project, Siemens Plant Simulation, AVEVA Marine, SAP S/4HANA, in free, academic or evaluation versions. The case studies cover real procedures for shipyard production capacity analysis, preparation of a master construction plan and flow simulation in steel workshops. Assessment is continuous, module by module, plus the final integrative project.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
Analyse the shipyard as a production system and its capacity.
Plan multi-project workload and resources.
Develop the master construction plan for a vessel.
Schedule workshops and work packages using lean techniques.
Control schedules and costs using earned value and indicators.
