The overriding goal of minimal crewing is to determine the smallest quantity of people required to operate and maintain a platform without due regard for total system support, lifetime sustainability, and total ownership cost implications. This results in an imbalance between the shipboard personnel requirement and the enabling personnel support elements such as training, assignments, billet backfill supply/demand, skill/experience supply/demand, quality of service, etc. The upshot is that a quest for lowest life-cycle cost for a platform by minimizing the size of its crew likely results in greater total ownership costs, risk, and adverse impacts with respect to the full range of human resources considerations.

First and foremost, optimal crewing is not minimum crewing! Rather, it is an analytically determined crew size consistent with risk, affordability, human performance capability, and human workload. The largest single component of life cycle cost for a naval ship is manpower, including recruiting, training, assigning, and supporting Sailors for operations, maintenance and support. The primary benefits of optimal crewing are improved total system performance and a significant reduction in ownership costs. Other benefits include an increased emphasis on supporting human performance, productivity, safety, and quality of life, resulting in enhanced crew satisfaction and greater acceptance of technology initiatives.There are several critical factors required to achieve optimal crewing. Acquisition and design processes for ship systems must foster a design approach that encompasses human roles and requirements while reducing workload allocated to the human. Additionally, current policies for personnel and training and supporting infrastructure and the means to support a new and potentially different crew composition in a competitive personnel resource market environment, must be reviewed. Finally, the laws, regulations, doctrine, and cultural drivers for all of these policies must be addressed.An optimal crewing strategy begins with an assumed manning level of zero (0). Human involvement must be justified through a top down functional and task analysis. Human involvement requirements must be defined by a human-centered systems engineering process, called human systems integration (HSI). HSI brings to systems design a concern for the human as a part of the total system. It is an application of total systems engineering with emphasis on the roles, responsibilities, and requirements for the human. The process, tools and data required to integrate human performance into a system are also part of HSI, as are the traditional human factors engineering areas, such as manpower, personnel, training, safety, and life support. Through HSI, mission function and task allocation can be analytically applied to hardware, software, or people in terms of life cycle cost and performance tradeoffs.

Reimbursement is an amount collected and credited to an appropriation for items andservices furnished, usually on an occasional basis. An interagency agreement providesbudget authority to the performing agency in addition to that provided by its ownappropriation. In simple terms, this means that the Coast Guard�s budget authorityis increased to cover the obligations incurred by these additional services. The Coast Guard uses reimbursable agreements to provide services to other agencies. For example, Coast Guard reservists may be ordered to duty to support the FederalEmergency Management Agency (FEMA) for hurricane, oil or hazardous chemical responses. Another example would be Coast Guard support to the Selective Service System (SSS).

Each run control you create receives a unique run control ID. When you select a report from a menu, a search dialog box appears, asking for a run control ID. If you're in Add mode, enter a new ID for the run control you're about to define. If you're in Update/Display mode, enter an existing run control ID or press Enter and select from the list of available run control IDs.

For example, CG Recruit Training is approximately 2months (1/6 of a year) in duration. If the CG anticipates sending 3600 recruits through Boot Camp this fiscal year, the TAB requirement for that training would be 3600 X 1/6 or 600 TABs.
