Abstract
The organization of a shipbuilding company is important. The activity map shows both the sequence of a project with the outcomes required at each stage and also the main functions in a shipyard. Either of these can be the basis for organization, though in most cases shipyards use function because that focusses on technical capability. The best organization is some form of matrix to combine the two. An organization which follows the work breakdown structure is good, as it makes communication easier. An effective management information system is essential so that all management has access to necessary status data. Effective communication is then improved, so the management can concentrate on those aspects of a project where problems have been identified.
