Case Studies
7 questions with answers
What should a good case study include?
It should include background, timeline, root causes, contributing factors, corrective actions, preventive actions, cost impact and evidence of learning shared to the fleet.
How should case study actions be tracked?
Actions should be assigned to owners, linked to vessels or modules, given due dates and verified before closure so learning is not lost after publication.
What records should be maintained for Case Studies?
Maintain the source record, responsible person, date, vessel, attachments, approval status, correction history and follow-up actions. The record should be easy to retrieve during audit, inspection or management review.
Who should review Case Studies items ashore?
The responsible superintendent or department head should review exceptions, overdue items, high-risk findings and repeated issues. Finance, HSEQ, technical, marine or crewing teams should be included depending on the topic.
How often should Case Studies be reviewed?
Routine items should be reviewed monthly, while overdue, high-risk or inspection-related items should be reviewed immediately. Fleet-level trends should be included in periodic management meetings.
Which KPIs are useful for Case Studies?
Useful KPIs include overdue count, closure time, repeat findings, cost variance, missing evidence, vessel ranking, responsible-owner backlog and management approvals pending beyond target time.
