The resources, both human and material, time and money, available to any ship are limited. To get the best from them requires good planning and good management. This video looks at the basics of planning tasks to make the best of all resources.

Although money is important and needs to be spent wisely, good management is not just about money. On a ship at sea, the officers and crew are the key resource and their time and effort has to be properly planned by the management team. The study guide discusses in detail the issues of time man-agement and using budgets effectively. It includes a time management questionnaire which, when completed, demonstrates how working time is actually spent. The study guide also helps to explain how to use a systematic approach to problem solving and outlines a range of basic problem solving techniques.
