Development of systems approach, augmenting of productivity and optimisation of resource consumption are the main targets of this department. In broader terms; the Strategic Planning Department aims at:

Formulation of the Shipyard's future mission in light of changing external factors such as regulations, competition, technology and customers,

	Development of a competitive strategy to achieve the Shipyard's mission,
	Creation of an organisational structure which will deploy resources to successfully carry out the Shipyard's competitive strategy.

In short, strategy formulation is a combination of rational, scientific examinations and educated, intuitive best guesses. In our Shipyard's strategy development processes, we:

	Examine our organisation's critical issues;
	Determine how our organisation's strengths and skills can be employed to address these critical issues;
	Analyse opportunities and strengths and looking for ways to synthesise the two;
	Explore and choose the best approaches for our organisation.

In practice, the Strategic Planning Department also concentrates on R&D (Research & Development) projects, and the TQA (Total Quality Assurance) system.

In Gemak, first and foremost we engage leadership and involve all informal and formal organisational leaders. Thus, we are all able to work from a common understanding, which is the maximisation of benefits for all our stakeholders: the company, shareholders, workers, managers and staff, and finally our community.
