QUALITY AS AN ELEMENT OF THE SHIP REPAIR ENTERPRISE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Abstract

The situation in the ship repair industry taking into account the organization of production, quality management and quality control during the ships repair is analyzed. The necessity of improving the technological processes of ship repair production is proved. It is proposed to continuously improve the production process by reducing losses arising from irrational production management. The introduction of lean manufacturing principles will significantly reduce losses. It is pointed out that it is necessary to solve the problems of providing ship repair production with modern means of non-destructive testing and complexes of new devices in order to improve the processes of quality control of ship repair work, since the improvement of means and methods of control contributes to improving the efficiency and quality of ship repair work. Conclusions that the high quality of repair work is ensured by the exact compliance with the established technology and careful consistent control, starting from the original materials and ending with the testing of finished products are drawn. The lack of preventive control functions, and therefore an active impact on quality, is the main drawback of the existing control system. It is indicated that there are such negative indicators as insufficient depth of theoretical justifications and the sequence of taking control actions, non-compliance with the basic principles of building control systems (centralization and independence of control, quantitative quality measurement, factor-causal analysis), lack of a comprehensive nature of measures and a systematic approach. In the future, it is proposed to create a quality management system that could prevent defects, and preventive control functions would allow systematically improving the quality of ship repair work.
