A Method for Predicting Manning Factors in Post Year 2000 Ships
Abstract
The prediction of required manning in post year 2000 ships represents a complex topic which must consider technological advances, automation trends, and changes in the functions performed by system operators/maintainers. In order to explore whether or not a computer simulation approach possesses potential for providing manning estimates for post 2000 ships, some characterization of the ships of that era were obtained. Four different computer simulation models, which are held to possess potential for achieving the required post year 2000 manning predictions, are outlined and described. While each of the developed models possesses some advantage, a combination of two or more of the models would probably yield the most useful predictions.
