Abstract
In the article, the authors examined the problematic aspects of project management; the study focuses on the optimization of the crew of the vessel – the project team based on the simulation method. Within the framework of the approach proposed by the authors, a model has been developed for the formation of the crew of the vessel – the project team, which allows one to identify its composition, the most suitable and stable (balanced) for managing a specific project in terms of its competence, complementarily of crew members on the vessel (synergism principle) and its psychological characteristics. Digital modeling cannot be considered as an attempt to copy the per-minute and daily change of a real situation arising from group interaction using a computer; high tension in the work of individual functional groups of the project should be attributed; total duration of the project; load factors of certain types of equipment for the organization. A model has been developed for optimizing the number of ship crews on the basis of simulation modeling of the behavior of the “person-machine” system in the process of project implementation.
