The economic condition of a country is not separated by natural resources as a provider of human needs Indonesia is a maritime country that most of its territory in the form of waters. The shipyard industry is a maritime undertaking whose activities build a new ship, ship maintenance, ship repair etc. The growth of shipbuilding industry in line with the rapid growth of iron and steel mining and advances in machining technology in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This has made the shipbuilding industry progressing rapidly to date. For preliminary data as a guideline for increasing shipyard capabilities to produce new vessels including docking, it is necessary to inventory the current condition of the shipyard. The shipbuilding industry is one of the maritime industry based on the technology chosen by the government to be developed related to the realization of the maritime shaft program. The technological conditions in the conventional national shipyards that are still not convincingly resized, require the evaluation process to produce a plan and the realization of targeted improvements. The development of the national maritime industry as a solution of the Indonesian government's program to improve the national shipping capability in the transportation of goods and inter-island passengers. The need for vessels in large quantities to exploit existing marine potentials, the need for a fleet of vessels to become goods transport and passengers connecting between islands and between countries, the need for ships for marine and coastal protection, and the need for other special vessels is an urgent matter to be met. Consumers who require shipbuilding services include oil companies, shipping, tourism, transportation, etc. The results of the shipping industry in shipbuilding activities are tankers, ferry boats, fishing boats, yachts, etc.

FPSO is mainly used for production, storage of oil and processing of hydrocarbons. They usually preferred in the offshore region as they do not require a local pipeline structure to transport oil. Floating production is regarded as a cost-effective method of developing oil and gas fields worldwide. Since engineering work is procedural and repeatable, the complexity of the process also tends to be cyclical (rework). Thus, the problems arise when complex processes which involves interdependence (feedback and iteration) in designing and fabricating process that affect the planning of the whole project. Project management tools such as Critical Path Method (CPM), Program Evaluation Review Technique (PERT) and Gantt chart which are widely used in planning application do not address the complexity of this interdependency. This thesis discusses planning of FPSO Fabrication using Dependency Structure Matrix (DSM) model in order to address this complexity. Partitioning DSM process minimizes the amount of iteration within the process; and as a result, reducing the number of the iteration to affect the time to complete the whole project.
