This comprehensive book delves into the intricate relationship between independent and dependent ship repairing variables, encompassing a wide range of combinations, under both linear and nonlinear forms. It employs actual data collected from shipyards to provide a robust foundation for its analysis. Independent variables include age, deadweight, cubic number, principal dimensions, and type of ships, while dependent variables encompass a diverse array of aspects such as repairing time, docking time, repairing labor, docking labor, hull blasting renewal area, hull painting renewal area, pipe renewal length, structural steel renewal weight, and structural steel renewal locations. To unravel these relationships, mathematical models are developed, employing the powerful multiple linear regression analysis technique. These models incorporate the appropriate variables, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of the ship repair process.

The adequacy of these models is tested using statistical parameters like coefficients of multiple determination and F statistic, which are calculated and tabulated for each combination of variables. This rigorous validation process ensures that the models accurately represent the underlying relationships between the variables. Furthermore, the book emphasizes the significance of managing the labor force, ensuring reliable data collection, and implementing an effective management information system to effectively oversee the ship repair process. It also highlights the importance of maintaining control over ongoing repair contracts and ensuring their timely completion. By comprehensively exploring the relationship between independent and dependent ship repairing variables, this book offers valuable insights for professionals involved in the ship repair industry, helping them optimize their operations and improve efficiency.
