outfitting and painting the 300 tons blocks indoor. Thus, the perspective program includes the purchase of a 360 tons transporter, the preparation of the transport routes, the erection of larger halls for blasting and painting located in the dry-dock area. In addition to replacing some worn or obsolete equipment (steel cutting machines, profile bending press, rehabilitation of 1000 tons press, lifting equipment), we shall consider complying with the environmental protection requirements the rehabilitation of the shipyards sewage system, for one example. As for proposals, although they are something that cannot be seen, the team performing them functions like a Swiss watch. Orders are insured due to their own and their other supporting departments dedication, readiness and accuracy. Our order book structure indicates that the shipyard focuses on three project legs: special vessels (AHTS, PSV), navy vessels and tugs. Competition, harsher and harsher (especially from Asia), urges us to prepare and approach more complex vessels: vessels made of very thin plates (yachts, fast-support yacht vessels) and aluminum-made vessels. Such new projects require the development and implementation of special technologies both for welding and hull building. We are now discussing with our Damen Group partners about building these types of vessels. Having a deep insight into the shipyards capacity (i.e., preparation and organization of the ship fabrication as well as the workers training), I am convinced we will be able to add these types of vessels with a high complexity level, to our reference list. So far we have proved our flexibility; now, the time has come for us to show our ability to cope with the shipbuilding art complexities as well. Eventually, not only great challenges but also achievements await us behind the corner and they will make the future generations also take pride in them!

Some say that the jury has the hardest mission. But (lets admit it!) also the sweetest! Together, all four members of the jury, Victor Dobrea, Elena Daniela Isaia, Ionut Cristea and Iulian Mandru chose the best cake. Mrs. Viorica Paraipan was the happy winner of the big prize whereas the rest of competitors received participation awards. Another surprise of the event consisted in free makeup sessions offered to a number of six lucky ladies. One of our colleagues enjoyed a makeup session on the spot performed by the make-up artist Roxana Gabriela Rosu. With congratulations, gifts and good cheer, we spent some memorable hours together. By the way, what do you do next year (on 8-th of March)?...Will you come at work?
Implementarea programului IFS a fost adoptata de Grupul Damen ca si solutie ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning). ERP este un sistem de management pentru integrarea informatiilor interne si externe la nivelul intregii organizatii. Ca parte dintr-un grup international, Santierul Naval Damen Galati a decis adaptarea si utilizarea IFS ca program software integrat. Ca orice inceput, aceasta optiune s-a dovedit a fi o provocare: in general, pentru asigura drumul catre succes, este nevoie ca oamenii potriviti sa se afle la locurile potrivite. Din august anul trecut, SNDG are sustinerea unui adevarat profesionist: Mehmet Ara. Cea mai buna recomandare o constituie vasta sa experienta in implementarea sistemelor ERP la nivel de santiere navale. Pe parcursul acestui scurt interviu, vom avea ocazia sa cunoastem profesionistul dar si omul Mehmet Ara. Pentru inceput, spuneti-ne cateva cuvinte despre dumneavoastra. ara Sunt membru al proiectului ERP IFS aflat in derulare in cadrul Santierului Naval Damen Galati, in calitate de Manager de Solutii. Am fost consultant si sef de proiect IFS timp de opt ani. Debutul meu in aceasta functie s-a realizat anul trecut, in august, la Damen, cand a inceput acest proiect. Sunt inginer si detin un master in

domeniul Tehnologiilor Avansate de Fabricatie pe care l-am absolvit la universitatea din Portsmouth. Reporter Ne puteti da cateva amanunte din planul personal (familie, prieteni)? ara Am 35 de ani si traiesc in Turcia, la Istanbul. M-am nascut si am crescut in acest oras si am deci, pe langa rude, si multi prieteni. Sunt casatorit si am doi copii minunati: o fetita si un baietel. Locuiesc in partea asiatica a orasului Istanbul. Reporter Banuiesc ca munca dumneavoastra va solicita sa calatoriti foarte mult. Ati gasit vreo asemanare intre orasul/tara dumneavoastra si Galati? Ma refer la cultura, obiceiuri, arhitectura ara Avand in vedere ca ne situam, geografic vorbind, in aceeasi regiune, cu legaturi istorice, as putea sa mentionez cateva asemanari. De exemplu, am fost surprins sa descopar ca limba turca si limba romana au destule cuvinte comune. Reporter Care considerati ca este cea mai mare realizare a dvs. de pana acum si ce va doriti pentru viitor? ara Ma consider foarte norocos pentru ca am o familie frumoasa si fericita in care respectul conteaza foarte mult. Imi doresc sa-mi cresc copii astfel incat sa ajunga oameni buni si educati. Reporter Cat conteaza pentru dumneavoastra faptul ca va aflati acum la Santierul Naval Damen Galati?
ara Profesional vorbind, e o realizare. Damen este un grup international important care desfasoara operatiuni la nivel global. De aceea, sunt multumit ca fac parte din aceasta organizatie. In plus, sunt incantat ca in SNDG pot lucra cu oameni atat de amabili si prietenosi. Reporter Care este opinia dumneavoastra sincera despre oamenii din santierul nostru? ara Pana acum, parerea mea este ca oamenii sunt constienti de ceea ce fac. Probabil ca acest lucru se datoreaza experientei si culturii companiei. Oamenii sunt foarte prietenosi si nu am nicio problema de comunicare, in sensul ca mereu primesc ajutor daca am nevoie. Reporter Revenind la implementarea IFS, exista vreun mesaj pe care ati dori sa-l transmiteti? ara Desigur. Ca si program software, IFS nu e doar un simplu instrument ci reprezinta un nou mod de lucru. Curand, oamenii vor fi din ce in ce mai constienti de contributia acestuia in munca de zi cu zi. I-as sfatui sa vada in implementarea IFS o noua experienta in cariera profesionala. La inceput este foarte posibil sa para mai dificil. Dupa un timp, insa, acest sistem va crea un mediu de lucru mult mai bun. Vom fi capabili sa ne definim si sa ne coordonam mai bine munca; va insemna timp castigat pentru toti angajatii acestei organizatii.

an expert in house
Damen Shipyards Group has chosen to implement IFS application as solution for the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to integrate internal and external management information across the entire organization. Being part of an international group, Damen Shipyards Galati decided to follow and use IFS as integrated software. Of course, like all beginnings, this choice is rather challenging and, in finding the way to success, you need the right people at the right time. Since August 2011, DSGa has an expert in house: his name is Mehmet Ara and all his experience in implementing ERP systems in shipbuilding companies recommend him as such. Throughout this short interview, the focus will be on both the person and expert Mehmet Ara.
mehmet ara
Please make a short description of the person Mehmet Ara. ara I am a member of ongoing ERP IFS Project at DSGa as Solution Manager. I have been IFS consultant and project manager for 8 years. I have started this position at Damen last year in August when the project started. I am an Industrial Engineer with MSc in Advanced Manufacturing Technologies from University of Portsmouth. Reporter Could you give a little insight of your personal life (family, friends)? ara I am 35 years old and I live in Istanbul, Turkey. I was born and grown up in that city so I have lots of friends and relatives in Istanbul. I am married and have two lovely children, one boy and a girl. I live in the Asian side of Istanbul. Reporter I assume your work means travelling a lot. Have you found in Galati any resemblance (customs, architecture,

culture) to your city/country? ara Since we are almost in the same region, with historical relations, there are some. For example, it was surprising for me to have lot of common words in our languages. Reporter What is your biggest achievement so far? Ambitions for the future? ara I am very lucky to have a nice family and I believe so far keeping that with respect and happiness has been my biggest achievement. For future I would like to raise my children as good and educated people. Reporter Do you consider coming to work with DSGa an achievement? Why? ara Yes, I do. Damen is a big international group with global operations. It is good to be part of this organization. I am also happy to work with really nice and friendly people here in DSGa. Reporter What is your sincere opinion about people here at the yard? So far, I think people are aware of what they are doing. I believe that is because of experience and company culture. They are also very friendly I didnt have any problem to communicate with people or to get help from them when I needed. Reporter Keeping in mind the implementation of IFS, is there a message you would like to send to everyone here? ara Yes, IFS as software is not like simply tool but a kind of new working way. Soon people will feel the effects of IFS more on their daily work. I would like to advice them to see this implementation as a new experience for their carrier. We all may have some difficulties at the beginning but, after a while, system will bring us a better work environment. We will be able to define and control our business better. It will save time for everyone at the organization.

O alta surpriza a evenimentului a fost tombola avand drept miza sedinte gratuite de make-up. Una dintre colegele noastre a fost rasfatata cu un machiaj pe loc de catre make-up artistul Roxana Gabriela Rosu. Cu felicitari, cadouri si voie buna am petrecut cateva ore minunate. Chiar, anul viitor (de 8 martie), ce facem?...Veniti la serviciu?

of integrated management system manual has been related to such process. In same respect, meetings have been organized with the management team and management staff in order to present new documents. Kick-off date for the new system was 1-st of November 2011. Shortly after, in early December last year, the first stage of audit for certification of the new integrated management system by Lloyd Register Quality Assurance, took place. This was possibly due to our company permanent concern to apply the legal requirements in terms of environment protection, health and occupational safety, as well as the experience of over 14 years of work in the quality management system. Thus, alignment to ISO14001 and OHSAS18001 standards was easily done, their principles and structures being similar to those of ISO 9001 standard. Once the new system is implemented, resources will be better used and all organization activities better controlled. In May this year, the second certification stage of the integrated management system is scheduled a step forward made by Damen Shipyards Galati on its way to excellence in business.

2012 had a promising beginning for our shipyard. More precisely, on 15th of March we launched the Fishery, Inspection & Surveillance Vessel 6210 Nzinga Mbandi. To be able to perform the inspection & surveillance of fishing activities in local Angola waters, the vessel will be equipped with a Monicap room. Beside that a treatment room, boarding boat and other facilities will be installed to perform general tasks. Delivery is scheduled for beginning of August. This event shall be attended by the Romanian ambassador in Angola, Mr. Valeriu Nicolae. Nzinga Mbandi is the second from a contract for three vessels built for the Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Development and Fisheries of Angola. The first vessel of the series has been launched on 9-th of December last year being named by Mrs. Victoria Barros Neto, state secretary in the below mentioned ministry.

Galatiul si Dunarea ne definesc. Copilarind, crescand, traind in acest oras, alegerile profesionale ale multor galateni se indreapta spre ceea ce le e mai drag: vapoarele. Ma fascineaza apa si navele ce plutesc pe ea. Acesta este motivul pentru care Aurelia Maris a ales sa urmeze o facultate si mai apoi profesia care sa o aduca aproape de ele. In prezent Sef Serviciu Planificare si Propunere Proiecte, dna. Maris a absolvit in anul 1981 Facultatea de Mecanica, profilul Tehnologia Constructiilor de Masini iar in Santierul Naval lucreaza din anul 1991. Dupa o perioada de acomodare de doua luni in cadrul serviciului mecano-energetic, a fost primita cu incredere si respect in echipa de organizare, planificare si normare condusa de dna. Lupeanu Mariana, o persoana bine pregatita profesional, logica in gandire si cu mult bun simt devenita, in timp, un fel de model pentru dna. Maris. A fost perioada acumularii cunostintelor de baza pentru cariera doamnei inginer. Din 1996, planificarea a intrat pe un fagas bun alaturi de Inginerul Sef Conceptie, Horia Cristea. Au urmat o serie de imbunatatiri in acest domeniu. Daca in trecut planificarea se facea doar in Excel, pretabil pentru perioade cu proiecte putine, din 1999 a fost analizat si introdus un soft complex care s-a pliat perfect pe necesitatile perioadelor cu o mare incarcare de informatii rezultate din multitudinea de proiecte. Este vorba despre Primavera, un soft pentru a carui implementare s-au organizat cursuri de pregatire a personalului. Cursul oferea insa doar 50% din cunostintele necesare, restul bazandu-se pe experientele personale si dorinta de a invata. In domeniul naval, desi multe santiere au achizitionat acest soft, putine din ele, printre care Galatiul si Constanta, sunt cele care au continuat sa-l foloseasca. Este un soft complex dar in care am crezut de la inceput si in care cred si in prezent. spune dna. Aurelia Maris careia, se vede, ii place sa vorbeasca despre munca pe care o face.
Chiar daca santierul a trecut prin schimbari iar anii au contribuit cu experiente si provocari din ce in ce mai complexe, ceea ce a influentat traseul profesional al doamnei inginer, ca un numitor comun intre trecut si prezent, au fost mereu: ambitia, munca si dorinta de perfectionare. Este dna. Aurelia Maris implinita din punct de vedere profesional? Raspunsul nu e unul lapidar. Este bine dezvoltat si argumentat: Planningul este un domeniu complicat, conectat cu toate departamentele santierului, de unde sunt culese informatii care trebuie puse cap la cap si verificate pentru a sti daca produsul final pe care urmeaza sa-l prezinti este veridic. Pot spune ca am ajuns sa observ de la prima vedere eventualele scapari, de altfel neintentionate, in informatiile primite. Am capacitatea de a trece de la amanunt la viziune generala, de la o tema la alta si de la o nava la alta, dar asta dupa 20 de ani de experienta in domeniu. Cu toata modestia, am satisfactia ca am fost pionul principal in procesul de imbunatatire a planning-ului, atat cat mi s-a permis. Implinita profesional? Poate 90%. Mai am obiective de atins, dar pana la realizarea lor nu le dezvalui. Fiecare om isi face o imagine a viitorului. De la schita abia creionata pana la conturul capatat in timp, ati avut abateri sau v-ati respectat intotdeauna ce v-ati propus profesional? Aceasta era urmatoarea intrebare pregatita, insa, inainte de a o adresa, am primit si raspunsul: Sunt o fire puternica si luptatoare, imi cunosc valoarea, calitatile si lacunele. Pe primele doua le-am folosit neostenit in dorinta de a performa in cariera. Impedimentele au fost insa mai mult de natura externa, deoarece, cu toate ca am muncit mult, satisfactiile, atat cele materiale cat si cele morale, nu au fost intotdeauna pe masura muncii si implicarii mele. Cum rezistati intr-o lume asa-zisa a barbatilor? Cum treceti prin provocarile de zi cu zi? Simplu, dar nu intotdeauna: prin argumente, solutii si nu in cele din urma prin profesionalism.
Cum percepeti noua generatie? Aveti incredere in ei? Ce ii sfatuiti? Lucrez foarte bine cu cei tineri pentru ca sunt mult mai receptivi, isi expun deschis ideile si astfel gasesc cate ceva folositor in parerile lor. Stiu sa-i si indrum, sa ii si cert si sa ii sfatuiesc. Trebuie intelesi, canalizati pozitiv si sunt incantata ca pot oferi din experienta mea profesionala tinerilor. Ii sfatuiesc sa acumuleze cat de mult posibil din punct de vedere al cunostintelor si sa le aplice cu seriozitate. Sa nu incerce sa pacaleasca pe nimeni, pentru ca in final se pacalesc pe ei insisi. Lucrurile luate acum de-a gata de la altii nu le vor folosi decat pe moment. Sa aiba un tel si sa fie consecventi in a-l atinge! Colectivul pe care dna. Maris il coordoneaza cu pricepere este format din persoane de varste diferite, cu mai multa sau mai putina experienta. Care este atitudinea pe care o abordati in relatia sef subaltern? Este adevarat ca am foarte multa experienta si, prin prisma functiei pe care o detin, imi revine obligatia majora de a privi lucrurile sintetizate la un nivel mai inalt; de aceea trebuie sa adopt o anumita politica si pozitie, dar acestea nu schimba relatia cu colegii. Cu emotia reporterului care surprinde sentimente in direct, va pot spune ca doamna Aurelia Maris nu este doar un om in mare parte implinit profesional, ci si o mama mandra, cu o satisfactie enorma care depaseste, acopera sau compenseaza orice alte mici sau mari nemultumiri din orice alt domeniu al vietii. Fiul, proaspat medic chirurg, cu merite deja recunoscute pe plan international, a demonstrat mamei lui ca investitia sentimentala si materiala nu a fost in van, ca eforturile unui parinte sunt rasplatite in timp prin ceea ce devine copilul: un om matur, responsabil, puternic, implinit profesional si personal, apt astfel de a-si lua viata in maini si a perpetua calitatile si invatamintele preluate de la mama .

Galati and the Danube define us. As we spend our childhood, grow up and live in this town, many of the professional choices of Galati citizens turn to something which is most dear to them: ships. I am fascinated by water and floating ships. This is why Aurelia Maris chose to go to a faculty and then, decided for a profession which could bring her close to them. Currently Head of Planning and Project Proposal Department, Mrs. Maris graduated in 1981 from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, profile Machine Manufacturing Technologies and has been working in Damen Galati since 1991. Following a two months accommodation period at the mechanical-energetic department, she has been welcomed with trust and respect in the organization, planning and standardization team led by Mrs. Lupeanu Mariana, a well trained professional with a logical mind and much common sense who became, in time, a kind of model for Mrs. Maris. It was a period of accumulating basic knowledge for her future career. Since 1996, planning has gone on a good path, together with Chief Design Engineer, Horia Cristea. A series of improvement in this area followed. If in the past, planning was possible only in Excel, a program suitable for periods with fewer projects, as from 1999 a complex software program was analyzed and introduced which adapted perfectly to those periods with large input of information resulted from numerous projects. This was Primavera, a software program which required training courses for our staff

to another, but this happens after 20 years of experience in the field. With all modesty, I have the satisfaction to have played the major role in planning improvement process, as much as I was allowed. Professionally completed? Maybe 90%. I still have goals to reach, but until achieved I dont want to reveal them. Each person makes a picture of the future. From a barely drawn sketch to the profile reached in time, did you have any deviation or always stick to your professional targets? This was the next question which I have prepared but, before asking, Ive received the answer: I am a strong and fighting character, I know my value, skills and weak points. I used the first two of them tirelessly willing to perform in my career. The obstacles I confronted with were more of an external nature since, although I worked hard, satisfactions, both material and moral, did not always match my efforts and involvement. How do you survive in a so-called mens world? How do you go through everyday challenges? Simple, but not always: by arguments, solutions and not least, by professionalism. How do you perceive new generation? Do you trust them? What do you advise them? I work very well with young people because they are more receptive, express their ideas openly and so I can always find something useful in their opinions. I also know how to guide, argue and advise them. They should be understood, positively channeled and I am very excited that I can offer part of my experience to young people. I advise them to accumulate as
much as possible knowledge and then apply it seriously. To avoid trying to fool anyone because in the end they fool themselves. Things which are now taken for granted from others will only be used for the moment. To have a goal and be consistent in reaching it! The team that Mrs. Maris skillfully coordinates includes people of different ages, more or less experienced. Which is your attitude in relation with subordinates? It is true that I have much experience and, considering the function I hold, an overview of synthesized things at a higher level is one of my major obligations; therefore I must adopt a certain policy and position, but this does not change my relation with colleagues. As a reporter capturing live feelings, I can say that Mrs. Aurelia Maris is not only a person professionally completed in the main, but also a proud mother with an enormous satisfaction exceeding, covering or compensating any other small or big discontent in any other field of life. Her son, recently surgeon with merits already acknowledged internationally, has proved his mother that her sentimental and material investment was not in vain, that a parents efforts are rewarded in time by the childs evolution: a mature man, responsible, strong, professionally and personally completed, thus capable to control his life and perpetuate the skills and lessons learned from his mother.

And this could have happened because the shipyard is located within one of Danubes bend, on the open side, that is exactly in a place where, naturally, ice collects whatever floats on water. A more dangerous situation would have been if a compact ice mass including imprisoned barges or boats had hit the vessels. Therefore, we decided to protect Groningen, hull number 1194. First operation, relatively simple, was to break the ice which exceeded, in some areas, 40 centimeters thick. As we lacked proper equipment, removing the ice blocks out of the dock was a real problem; but fortunately, we found the best solution. Thus, after several days of hard work, the vessel was sheltered in the wet room of the dry dock in anticipation of better weather conditions.

Formularul QIF nu mai reprezinta o noutate pentru angajatii SNDG. Pe parcursul anului trecut, comisia a analizat un numar de 82 de propuneri de imbunatatire, dintre care 52 au aplicabilitate si un real aport la imbunatatirea calitatii produselor sau a proceselor tehnologice. Paleta propunerilor este vasta: de la confectionarea unor instrumente cu scopul de a facilita efectuarea unor activitati pana la modificarea constructiva a elementelor navelor. Punerea acestora in practica a condus la economii semnificative de materiale sau de timp in consecinta, un castig financiar pentru companie. In ceea ce priveste numarul propunerilor inaintate, Directia Remorchere si Ambarcatiuni este si de aceasta data pe primul loc, in pofida unei participari sporite. Toate propunerile de imbunatatire au fost premiate. Cele care au avut o contributie reala si rezultate pe masura asteptarilor au fost desemnate QIF-ul lunii si recompensate corespunzator. Un premiu special QIF-ul anului 2011 a fost acordat domnului Chirchirita Catalin. Propunerea sa, cu numarul 122 pe lista QIF-urilor, a avut in vedere desfasurarea procesului de tragere longitudinala si transversala a navei de patrulare PS4 in pozitia de lansare, un proces dificil mai ales in cazul navelor mari. Pentru a preveni aparitia deformatiilor pe zona corpului navei in timpul acestui proces, domnul Chirchirita a propus ca zona de contact intre nava si stratul lemnos de pe cavaleti sa fie formata din placaj tego, cu grosimea de maxim 15 mm. Deseori, in activitatea noastra, intampinam situatii in care este evidenta necesitatea unei imbunatatiri. Tot ceea ce trebuie sa facem este sa descriem problema intalnita si o propunere de rezolvare a acesteia intr-un formular QIF, pe care sa-l trimitem la adresa de e-mail: qif@damen.ro. Intodeauna este loc pentru mai bine.

QIF form is no longer a novelty for DSGa employees. Last year the commission analyzed a number of 82 proposals for improvement, out of which 52 are applicable, bringing a real contribution to the improvement of products quality or technological processes. The range of proposals is wide: from manufacturing different instruments in order to facilitate certain activities up to constructive modification of ships elements. Putting them into practice resulted in significant time and material savings consequently, financial earnings to the company. With regard to the number of submitted proposals, the Tugs & Workboats Division is again on the first position despite an increased participation. All proposals for improvement have been awarded. Those with a real contribution and expected results have been nominated as QIF of the month and rewarded accordingly. A special award QIF of year 2011 has been granted to Mr. Chirchirita Catalin. His proposal, number 122 in QIF list, referred to the longitudinal and transversal transfer of Patrol Ship PS4 into launching position, a difficult process, especially in case of big ships. To prevent hull deformations during such process, Mr. Chirchirita proposed that contact area between the vessel and wooden layer of launching blocks to be made of tego plywood, with a thickness of maximum 15 mm. In our activity we are often confronted with cases when necessity for improvements is obvious. All we have to do is to describe the problem we are faced with and a proposal for solving it by using a QIF form which has to be sent to the following email address: qif@damen.ro. There is always room for improvement.

What would you do Ce ai face daca ai avea if you had a 300 carat diamond? un diamant de 300 de carate?
I have asked this question to some of my colleagues who, although puzzled, accepted to come into my play. Below some of their answers: I dont know what to say I never even thought for a moment, because I dont think I will ever posses a diamond. I would sell it and with money received I would travel around the world. If I had a diamond, I would expose it to share the joy of its brightness with everyone. Its a pity to keep something so precious only for yourself! Id put it up for auction and with money obtained I would pay off my debts! Then, Id start my own business. Assuming that I am in the possession of such a diamond and considering its value, I would deposit it for safety reasons in a bank vault. I think I would sell it. Thus I would insure a carefree life both for me and my family. Maybe I would initiate some charities! I would give it to my sweetheart. I think Ill put into a special mount and wear it on my finger! It is amazing how a question, apparently simple, challenged my interlocutors imagination and probably yours also. Few are those who could resist the dream of holding one of the most worshiped and desired gemstone. Throughout history, irrespective of time, diamonds have imposed their supremacy. Symbols of essential beauty and sign of richness, they adorned legendary jewels and weapons, they were dedicated books, songs, poems, paintings What makes them so special? Why do they fascinate us? Why are they so desired? It seems that, among all gemstones, diamonds wake up our strongest emotions. We are attracted by their brightness, clarity, purity, hardness and durability; a plurality of exceptional features that make them incomparably spectacular and beautiful. Many of us believe it is almost impossible to ever come into possession of a diamond. Yet, we fall under the dreams net, building illusive plans. While running after phantasms we do not Am adresat aceasta intrebare catorva colegi care, desi nedumeriti, au acceptat sa intre in jocul meu. Iata cateva dintre raspunsurile lor: Nu stiu ce sa spun Nu m-am gandit nici macar o clipa, pentru ca nu cred ca voi ajunge vreodata sa detin un diamant. L-as valorifica si cu banii obtinuti as calatori in jurul lumii. Daca as avea un diamant, l-as expune pentru a impartasi bucuria stralucirii lui cu toata lumea. Este pacat sa tii ceva atat de pretios doar pentru tine! L-as scoate la licitatie si cu banii obtinuti mi-as achita datoriile! Apoi, imi voi deschide propria afacere. Presupunand ca voi fi in posesia unui astfel de diamant si, avand in vedere valoarea sa, l-as depune pentru siguranta intr-un seif, la o banca. Cred ca l-as vinde. Astfel mi-as asigura un trai fara griji atat mie cat si familiei mele. Poate as initia cateva actiuni caritabile! L-as darui persoanei iubite. Cred ca il voi aseza pe o montura deosebita si-l voi purta! Este uimitor cum o intrebare, aparent simpla, a avut darul de a provoca imaginatia interlocutorilor mei probabil si pe a dumneavoastra. Putini sunt cei care ar putea rezista visului de a stapani una dintre cele mai adulate si mai ravnite pietre pretioase. De-a lungul istoriei, indiferent de perioada, diamantele si-au impus suprematia. Simboluri ale frumusetii esentiale si semne de bogatie suprema, au impodobit bijuterii si arme legendare, li s-au dedicat carti, cantece, poeme, picturi Ce le face atat de speciale? De ce ne fascineaza ? De ce sunt atat de dorite? Se pare ca, dintre toate pietrele pretioase, diamantele ne trezesc cele mai puternice emotii. Suntem atrasi de stralucirea, claritatea, puritatea, duritatea si durabilitatea lor; un cumul de trasaturi exceptionale care le confera spectaculozitate si frumusete neasemuita. Multi dintre noi credem ca este aproape imposibil sa ajungem vreodata in posesia unui diamant. Si totusi, ne lasam purtati de vise, faurindu-ne planuri iluzorii. In timp ce alergam dupa himere nu realizam ca, de fapt, suntem deja in posesia unui diamant
incredere si profesionalism
Dupa ce, ani la rand ne-am confruntat cu probleme legate de finalizarea si livrarea navelor la termen, capacitatea de a raspunde prompt la solicitarile clientilor a devenit un deziderat al societatii noastre. Activitatea de commissioning a transmis semnalele pozitive in acest sens, un plus de valoare si de siguranta oricarui proiect indiferent de capacitatea acestuia. Adesea interpretat gresit, procesul de commissioning este considerat ca fiind concentrat exclusiv pe testarea si punerea in functiune a echipamentelor la sfarsitul fazei de constructie a unei nave. De fapt, este o activitate disciplinata care implica testarea atenta a functionalitatii tuturor sistemelor si echipamentelor, pe toata durata proiectului. Un commissioning bine planificat creeaza oportunitatea identificarii abaterilor si defectelor, precum si corectarea acestora fara a se intarzia termenul de livrare. Decizia infiintarii Departamentului Commissioning condus de Christoph Govaert si subordonat directorului general a fost un pas inainte dar si o noutate in structura organizatorica a Santierului Naval Damen Galati. Dupa exemplul celorlalte realizari din diferite sfere de activitate ale santierului, actuala responsabilitate a noului departament este de a imbunatati coordonarea si planning-ul in faza de commissioning, de a eficientiza aceste procese si de a transfera experienta tuturor departamentelor. Capacitatea de a asigura un commissioning integral prin resurse proprii, respectarea termenului de livrare si mentinerea ridicata a standardelor de calitate, fac parte din strategia noastra. Toate acestea au o consecinta fireasca: o buna reputatie care ne recomanda ca fiind parteneri de incredere. Incredere si profesionalism iata doua cuvinte puternice, aparent simple, care definesc echipa de commissioning !

Dorinta stie sa gaseasca mijloacele care o duc la indeplinire Thomas Hardy cu mult mai pretios decat piatra nestemata insasi. El se gaseste in interiorul fiecaruia dintre noi: este vorba despre personalitatea noastra; acel ansamblu complex de sentimente, ratiune, calitati, aptitudini Intregul nostru potential este asemeni unui diamant care se gaseste in adancuri. In stare bruta, frumusetea lui este foarte bine ascunsa. Prin slefuire, insa, capata sclipiri nebanuite. In concluzie, este important sa constientizam ca detinem un diamant extrem de valoros si ca sta in puterea noastra sa ne transformam visele in realitate. Nu ne ramane decat sa-l exploatam, sa-i evidentiem trasaturile exceptionale si nu in ultimul rand, sa-l prelucram pentru a-i conferi si mai multa stralucire! Dar, daca alegem sa-l inchidem ca intr-un seif, pierdem sansa de a fi apreciati si admirati asa cum meritam Dezvaluie, slefuieste, straluceste si vei fi apreciat la adevarata ta valoare!

realize that, in fact, we are already in the possession of a diamond even more precious than the gemstone itself. It is found within each of us: it is our personality; that complex set of feelings, reason, qualities, skills Our entire potential is like a diamond found in depths. In the rough, its beauty is very well hidden. But polished, it gets unexpected glitters. In conclusion, it is important to realize that we hold an extremely valuable diamond and is in our power to transform our dreams into reality. All we have to do is to make the most of it, point out its exceptional features and last but not least, reshape it to confer more and more brightness! But, if we choose to hide it as in a vault, we lose the chance to be appreciated and admired as we really deserve Disclose, reshape, shine and you will be valued for what you worth!
