Analysis of Demands on the Navy Public Works Center, San Diego.

Abstract

The Navy's efforts to develop a system for allocating manpower resources have emphasized the design of an input-output (I/O) model to forecast the workload of shore activities, based upon the size and distribution of the fleet. To determine the feasibility of I/O analysis for operational use, a full-scale model of the 11th Naval District is being developed. The structure of I/O analysis requires data on the work output of each shore activity and its destination in the fleet or at other shore activities. A major effort is underway to collect and organize data for the empirical analysis of the fleet-shore workload demand network, focusing on 10 major shore activities in the 11th Naval District. This report analyzes workload demands on one of these activities--the Navy Public Works Center (PWC), San Diego. The structure of demands on the three major departments at PWC (Maintenance, Transportation, and Utilities) was analyzed, yielding demand rates for individual customers of PWC, the proportion of fleet demands to shore demands, and utility use rates by ship type for ships in the port of San Diego.
