The repair and maintenance operations carried out within a shipyard are correlated with the process of ensuring and managing the resources necessary to carry out the works included in the technical specification. Resource planning is a complex issue that can be addressed from several points of view. Initially, the planning of activities is done taking into account only the analysis of the time parameter and the dependencies between activities imposed by the technological process. The practice of the activities carried out in a shipyard has demonstrated that an analysis of the necessary resources according to the existing availability is also necessary. There are many unforeseen situations that can affect both the time of work and resources (material, financial, human) thus complicating the process of planning activities. This paper proposes a way to analyze the resource requirements of a repair project based on available resources, through Critical Path Method diagrams. This provides a comparative view of the daily required profile for a particular resource associated with the project in respect to the daily available profile of the shipyard.
