Course overview
A professional continuing-education course on identifying, quantifying, and managing risk in maritime engineering projects. It develops practical skill with heuristic screening, Product Breakdown Structures, Potential Problem Analysis, FMEA, Root Cause Analysis, and opportunity-focused project thinking through maritime examples.
What you will learn
Define project risk and explain how probability, consequence, and buffer shape project exposure.
Apply heuristic questionnaires to surface weak boundary conditions early in a project.
Build a Product Breakdown Structure and use the three-colour method to screen work packages for risk.
Analyse project vulnerabilities using Potential Problem Analysis and Failure Mode and Effect Analysis.
Investigate incidents using Root Cause Analysis to identify root causes, failure mechanisms, and missing barriers.
Contrast risk-focused and opportunity-focused project thinking and select practical risk-management measures for maritime projects.
