Tiivistelmä
The objective of this thesis is to implement an engineering planning and resource management tool SPEAR for engineering planning and project management in Wärtsilä Finland Oy, Fuel Gas Supply Systems department. The thesis consists of the theory of process improvement and implementation project, and empirical case study.
The purpose of SPEAR tool implementation is to improve processes in delivery projects. With the help of the SPEAR tool, design engineers and project engineers can handle and schedule their tasks better. Team leaders can forecast workload, estimate the effort needed for executing the project and improve processes with obtained data. A project consists of many different processes that include related activities or tasks for executing the project. Processes are constantly improved to perform better in projects.
This study uses qualitative research methods. The research sources were collected form literature and interviewing the test groups. The implementation was performed using the System Development Life Cycle method. The empirical case study consists of requirement analysis, system design, implementation, testing, and data analysis of SPEAR tool.
The implementation project is executed for both product lines of department; LNGPac and GVU delivery projects. The tool support is focused for improving engineering planning and project management. The impacts of the tool were measured in a short time frame.
This study helps FGSS and other departments to implement and develop the SPEAR tool successfully to meet their requirements. After this study engineers and project engineers are able to organize and schedule their daily work better. The study enables also the possibility to measure the task durations.
