Shipboard Facilities Maintenance and Manpower Utilization: Problem and Approach

Abstract

New concepts for accomplishing shipboard facilities maintenance have been developed which should improve performance, morale, motivation, and training level of shipboard personnel. The concepts involve a new division of labor, specialized training, and the use of new equipment, materials, and procedures. A test approach has been developed to demonstrate the technical feasibility of the concepts in a Fleet operational environment. The approach includes evaluation of changes in cleanliness and appearance of shipboard spaces, attitudes toward condition of spaces, and skill/knowledge of facilities maintenance personnel. A set of hypotheses and associated measurement devices have been presented and statistical tests of these hypotheses will be performed following at-sea data collection.
