A vessel cannot run without proper equipment and people to use that equipment; both resources are necessary for smooth work in the engine room. Engine Room Resource Management is a method of using all available resources to conduct engineering operations and run a vessel.

Engine Room Resource Management includes some crucial elements to achieve its ultimate goal, such as:

STRESS & FATIGUE: Stress is the effect that a stimulus has on the body. It is anything that can thrill, worry, scare and threaten us. Not all stresses are unpleasant; studies show that there is an optimal stress level where the body performs best. Fatigue is defined as weariness or exhaustion from work, overexertion, inadequate sound sleep or the cumulative effects of poor sleep over several days. Good sleeping habits are all part of a preventive strategy to avoid fatigue. Taking a short nap during a break would be beneficial to your mind and body

LEADERSHIP & GROUP DECISION MAKING: Engine Room Resource Management based upon Synergy; the total result is greater than the sum of the individual taken by themselves.

The best leader shares information communicates openly and encourages participation. The respect of others and the ability to share workload are also traits of a good leader. Maintaining a constructive and positive attitude and keeping a receptive atmosphere coupled with honesty are necessities of productive leaders. Decision-making is an essential skill for operational team leaders. Team members share the responsibility for solving the problems by contributing timely and valuable information to the team leader.

CULTURAL DIVERSITY: Effective ERRM requires understanding and respect for the different cultures of engine room members. It is essential to recognize it is the common goal of each engine room member. Open communication could reduce conflicts within the engine room organization. We must always remember that some individualism can exist during our interaction and operation in the engine room.
