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 the accuracy and reliability of the estimated models. Furthermore, the book emphasizes the significance of managing the labor force, ensuring reliable data collection, and implementing an effective management information system to oversee the ship repair process effectively. It also highlights the importance of maintaining control over ongoing repair contracts to ensure timely completion and satisfactory outcomes. By exploring these key aspects, the book provides valuable insights into the complexities of ship repairing and offers practical strategies for efficient management and optimization.
