CHAPTER I MANAGEMENT 0101 Defining Management. Management is the art of using resources in the best way to achieve set targets. Management is planning and organizing for the efficient use of available resources to achieve predetermined objectives. The process of management entails planning, coordinating, directing, organising and controlling. 0102 Firstly, it is essential that an understanding understanding of how management management works is clear. Secondly, some of the techniques of management management will be useful in accomplishment of specific goals. The following questions define management: "What is the best method I can use to ensure that a job is done well? “How best I can use my resources?" 0103 Resources of Management. The resources of management are man power, materials, space, money and time. To get jobs done and accomplish objectives, it is necessary to have these resources. The optimum and judicious utilisation of these resources is of prime concern. You may have all these resources available to you, but you may have have control over only only a few. A major portion of management management is the proper use of these resources. Therefore, you must be cost conscious while allocating resources. resources. You must remember remember that having resources available available does not guarantee success success in the accomplishment accomplishment of goals. How well these resources are used is the most important factor in the success of a mission. 0104 Principles of Management. The Principles of Management as propounded by Henry Fayol have been widely accepted and comprised the following:Division of work. Principles of specialization are necessary in (a) efficient utilisation of Labour. Authority and Responsibility. Responsibility is the corollary of (b) Authority and arises arises from it. Responsibility flows from authority. Authority is a combination of official authority given to us by our position in service and personal authority, because of intrinsic intelligence, experience, moral worth, past services etc. Discipline. Respect for agreements that are directed at achieving (c) obedience, energy, and outward marks of respect .It requires good supervision at all levels, clear and fair agreements and judicious application of penalties, subscribing to a code of conduct. Singleness of command. Each employee should have one superior (d) only. Unity of direction. Each group of activities having the same objective (e) must have one head and one plan. Subordination of individual interest to General Interests. Interest (g) of group should should supersede supersede that of the individual. When these are found to differ, it is the function of management to reconcile them.

Remuneration of Personnel. Remuneration and methods of payment (h) should be fair and afford the maximum satisfaction to employee and the employer. Centralization of Authority. (j) Extent to which authority can be concentrated or dispersed has to depend from situation to situation. Line of Authority. Chain of command in the organisational structure (k) has to be clearly laid out and be known to all. Equity of Treatment. (l) Dealing with subordinates should be in a  just, fair and kind manner. Stability of Tenure of Personnel. (m) Instability is both the cause and effect of bad management. Initiative. (n) The process of thinking out and executing a plan. Managers are urged to permit subordinates to exercise initiative even though they may have to sacrifice personal vanity. Espirit-de-Corps. There has to be an emphasis on the need for (p) teamwork and the importance of communication in obtaining it.

CHAPTER II LEADERSHIP AND MOTIVATION

0201 Leadership Defined. “Leadership is getting others to do what you want  done because they want to do it.” A it.”  A leader is a person who can influence and control another person in such a manner that he can guide or direct the feelings and reaction of the persons he leads. After the Second World  War a definite shift took place wherein leadership was perceived more as a three-pronged interactive process between the leader, the group and the situation rather than as merely the role and activities performed by the leader. Field Marshal Montgomery said, “Leadership is the capacity and will to rally men and women to a common purpose and the character which inspires confidence” 0202 Leadership is also a natural phenomenon of a man’s work life. It is related to the principle of gradation and hierarchy, which is a universal order of things created by God and man. Whenever a few persons get together for some purpose or other of common interest, more or less automatically, a deciding order emerges among them. That means, more often than not, one of the group members proves more able and starts striving harder than others for the achievement of the group goal. This gives birth to the practice quite advantageous to his personal and social life. It helps him in achieving his life’s goals quickly and smoothly. He, therefore, keeps refining and augmenting the theory and practice of leadership. 0203 Principles of Leadership. The basic principles of leadership are:(a)

The function of management deals with Planning, Coordinating, Directing, Organising and Controlling a task and all the resources linked with it to achieve a predetermined aim. Leadership on the other hand is the art, sciences or gift by which a person is enable and privileged to direct the thoughts, plans and actions of others in such a manner as to command their obedience, confidence, respect, loyalty, co operation. Hence where management deals with both men and materials, leadership deals with men only. A manager has to be a leader where as a leader need not be a manager MOTIVATION 0207 Definition. The word motivation was derived from the Latin word movere (meaning ‘to move’). This, however, is inadequate to understand its meaning. Motivation is the self propelling force within a man which keeps prompting him to improve his performance, his behaviour. It is his will and keenness to achieve not what he is supposed to achieve but what he sets for himself to achieve. Motivation is a technique to set people to want to do something which the leader wants them to do or to get men in to that frame of mind where they will want to do for the organisation willingly. 0208 There are three very important aspects aspects of motivation. motivation. These are:(a) (b) (c)

What energises human behaviour? What directs or channelises such behaviour How this behaviour is maintained or sustained.

0209 Each of these these aspects represents an important factor in our our understanding of human behaviour at work. Firstly, this indicates the presence of certain energetic forces within individuals that drive them to behave in certain ways, as also environmental force which, so very often trigger these drives or impulses. Secondly, there is the notion of goal on the part of the individuals; in other words their behaviour is directed towards achieving certain goals. Finally, motivation must be viewed with a systems orientation. What is meant is that we must consider and study those forces within the individuals and in their environment that provide the feedback to the individuals either to reinforce the intensity of their drive or to reduce and redirect their efforts. 0210 External Motivation. Is largely based on the primary needs of an individual and also to some extent on the relationship he maintains with the society. It is mainly concerned with:(a) (b)

Pay and comforts Praise and punishment

(c)

Relation within the group

0211 Internal Motivation. is mainly concerned with:(a) (b) (c)

Is based on the physical needs of the person and

Status Prestige Sense of belongingness

0212 Factor to be kept in Mind during Motivation. (a) Every person wants to have a sense of belongingness. You must make sure your men feel they belong to the department, the ship and the navy (b) Social and extra curricular activities provide a means for informal interaction between all the ranks. You must ensure that each person in your division take part in such activities. (c) Every person whatever his nature of work wants to be recognised for his effort. Be lavish with your praise.

CHAPTER III ADMINISTRATIVE ORGANISATION

ORGANISATION 0301 An Organisation Organisation is a hierarchical hierarchical structure consisting of a group of of people working towards a common goal under a management and governed by a set of rules and regulations. In the Navy an organisational structure exists at every level viz a Ship, Fleet, Dockyard, Materials Organisation, Command Headquarters, and Naval Headquarters etc. There is extensive planning, coordination and execution at each level to achieve the goal. 0302 Types of organisational structure. of three types:(a) (b) (c)

Organisation structures are basically

Formal - Army, Air Force, Navy, Police Informal - School, Charity, Trust, Association, Club Social - Picnic, Party, Sightseeing Group (Temporary Nature)

CHAPTER VI SERVICE CORRESPONDENCES

0601 Definition. All writing originated by or on behalf of the defence services in an official capacity is known as service correspondence. 0602 Characteristics of Service Writing. Service writing should follow the normal rules of English prose paying particular attention to the following:Accuracy. The facts and figures should be accurate. Avoid (a) overemphasis and implied statements. Brevity. (b) Ability to inform the reader in the shortest possible time but without sacrificing the clarity, completeness or style. It does not mean abruptness. Clarity. (c) The individual word or phrase should have a clear and unambiguous meaning as also the sense of the whole should be easy to understand. Relevance. Exclude any irrelevant word, phrase or idea and include all (d) pertinent essentials. The test is, ‘if this is cut out, will it prejudice the argument’ Logic. (e) Ideas should not contradict each other. Sentences and paragraphs should be linked together and follow each other logically. writing: - Nearly every form of service writing has a 0603 Arrangement of Service writing: framework which consists essentially of three parts namely: Introduction. The introduction provides the setting. It may include the (a) purpose of the paper, the background and any assumptions made. It should be brief and to the point so that the reader is left in no doubt as to what the whole subject is. (b)

Main Body. The main body develops the arguments in a logical order.

Conclusion. The paper must be properly rounded off so that the reader (c) is left with a clear and firm idea of final result. The conclusion normally sums up the essential points which have been argued out and may end with proposals or recommendations. New matter, not dealt with within the body should not be introduced. 0604 Layout. Within the frame work described above a paper should be arranged under appropriate headings. This will help to break up the paper and provide the reader with mental pause and aids to reference. Further more, the headings themselves should give the theme of the paper in a logical order. Layout of a service letter showing the horizontal and vertical spacing, paragraph headings, security classifications etc. has been placed at the end of the chapter for reference.

FORMS OF SERVICE CORRESPONDENCE 0605 Service letter. This is the usual form of letter used in official correspondence within the service by ships and other authorities except on occasions when the use of Formal letter or Memorandum is authorized. Service letter is also used when corresponding with Govt. Civil Officials and organizations, which have regular dealings with the services, such as CDAs etc. 0606 Demi-Official Letter. This is an informal letter and is used by an officer in his personal capacity seeking official information or assistance on any matter. As DO letters have limited official status, they should be used with discrimination. They must bear a proper file reference which could be from the writer’s personal file or that of the subject file as appropriate. Office copy of the letter and replies received must be placed in the subject file. DO letters should not be used when:(a) They may form the beginning of official correspondence. (b) The contents could be interpreted as orders or instructions. (c) The recipient may wish to avoid answering.

0607 Service Note. A Service Note is a means of official correspondence between the various branches, directorates or sections of Headquarters or in the case of the Navy units also. 0608 Government of India Letter. All proposals which require specific sanction of the Government of India are summated to the Ministry of Defence for decision and issue of orders; sanction of the Government of India is accorded through the medium of Government letters addressed to the services chiefs concerned. Staff Officers, serving at service headquarters are frequently required to put up draft govt. letters. 0609 Letters to Civilians. Correspondence with civil and military authorities on a subject common to both will be addressed separately. In such cases the civil authority concerned may be informed as to what instructions have been issued to military authorities. Letters addressed to Govt. civilian officers will begin with salutation ‘Sir’ and for non official civilian recipients this will commence with ‘Dear Sir’. In both cases it will end with ‘Yours Faithfully’. The rest of the layout of the letter will be of a service letter. 0610 Formal letter. This letter is used for official correspondence in an officer’s official capacity where required by ceremony, custom or diplomatic reciprocity. The occasions for using this format will vary with each service. The format itself is the same as that of a personal application with minor exceptions. It is addressed only to seniors or equals. Typical users are as follows:(a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) (g)

Circumstantial letter Letter of proceedings Reports of operations. Letters to diplomatic and Govt. Officials. Acknowledgement of appointments by officers. President of Board of Enquiry submitting his reports. Officers giving reasons in writing.

(h) Any other occasions when an officer writes to a senior authority in his individual capacity 0611 Personal application. This is written purely on personal matters and may originate from either on officers personal file or subject file as appropriate. The differences between a personal application and demi-official letter are:(a) In personal applications, personal number is added to his rank, initials, name, decorations and appointments and written in the same manner as in demi-official letters (b) The salutation ‘Sir’ and subscription ‘Yours Faithfully’ are typed. (c) Personal application is always addressed by appointment to the commanding officer / head of the applicant’s branch. 0612 Memorandum. This form is used by senior officers to promulgate instructions or information’s to several ships or authorities collectively and is addressed to junior only.

CHAPTER VII PLANNED PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

0701 Aim of Preventive Maintenance. (a) To improve reliability and availability of equipments by eliminating the risk of breakdown. (b) To increase operational availability by maintaining equipment to such standard that designed performance can be achieved whenever required. (c) To safeguard both material and personnel damage hazards arising in the event of a failure by reducing the occurrence of failures. (d) To economies in Time, Labour and Material by preventing large scale breakdowns. 0702 Aim of Preventive Maintenance Systems. (a) To state the maintenance test and provide a facility for planning and controlling its execution. (b) To contribute to improvements to equipments, maintenance practices and associated facilities by establishing communication between designer, manufacturer, maintenance authority and user. (c) To provide standard procedure for maintenance work there by simplifying training of personnel and enabling them to follow the same practices wherever they are serving. (d) To improve the morale of ships staff by installing confidence in their equipments and reducing the need for unscheduled breakdown. (e) To enable commands to plan and operate the deployment ship with confidence that programmed requirements will be fulfilled. (f) To verify the logistic support required under average conditions so that accurate provisioning of stores and spare gear can be made both ashore and afloat. (g) To identity short coming in the knowledge and skill of personnel so that remedial training, complementing and other action can be taken. 0703 Requirement for corrective maintenance. A need for corrective maintenance action may be indicated by obvious degradation in performances by routine tests or examinations or during the undertaking of preventive maintenance work. 0704 Undertaking of corrective maintenance. Depending on circumstances, corrective maintenance action may be deferred until some later convenient opportunity. The nature of the work facilities available and other factors may decide whether corrective maintenance is to be undertaken by ship's staff, base, dockyard or contractor. Whenever practicable any interfacing corrective and preventive maintenance is to be carried out of the same time either by deferring corrective work until the next occasion of carrying out preventive maintenance routines or by bringing forward the latter to coincide with the corrective actions.

0705 Maintenance Schedules. Maintenance schedules are the basic documents of all preventive maintenance systems and they are produced for requirements, groups of equipments or systems. The maintenance schedule contains all the recommended preventive maintenance for the equipment. Authority for new equipment and subsequently amended in the light of experience in the fleet, assume a normal environment and usage to the equipment concerned. They are intended as a guide for the ships officers who should vary the maintenance carried out to suit the actual environment and usage. Proposals for amendment should be made on form S 2022. 0706 Each operation is identified by a number and there exists a schedule for each each operation which includes:(a) A brief job description. (b) Who should do the work? (c) The periodicity at which it should be carried out. (d) The status of the operation. (e) The user's reference number is a 5 digit number allocated to the operation and used for reporting purposes by ships.

THE STANDARD E2 SYSTEM 0707 Although the principles are the same, installation and application of the standard E2 system can vary slightly between ships of same type of class to suit individual difference in construction. 0708 Ships Equipment List. List produced by the Indian Naval Ships Maintenance Authority (INSMA) for each class of ships. It indicates for each department in individual ships, what equipment is fitted, where it is located and the number of its appropriate maintenance schedule. The lists are used by INSMA to supply their correct maintenance documentation, and by headquarters department to identify equipment actually fitted in ships. The amendments of ships equipment list will depend on reports from ships, expect when ships are in hand for long refit or modernization and are programmed to have the upkeep management system reinstalled. Changes to equipment fitted should be reported to INSMA using form S2022 (revised). During normal refit or modernization the initiative for producing updated ship equipment list will be taken by INSMA. 0709 Maintenance Schedule Volumes. The maintenance schedule required for the equipment fitted are bound in to departmental volumes or such volumes as the user requires maintenance schedule are fully described in Chapter 2 paras 10 to 14 of BR 1313/73. 0710 Maintenance Instruction Cards.

It is used in conjunction with a central planning board for planning and displaying the state of maintenance work. 0713 Index Cabinets. Plastic envelops containing the maintenance record cards, maintenance instructions card and central planning card are stowed in maintenance schedule number order in standard card index. i ndex. 0714 Master Plan. Each department in a ship is provided with a binder containing graded sheets, listing for each equipment, all maintenance operation scheduled to be undertaken at intervals of four months or longer over a period of six years. Against each maintenance operation a diagonal line is drawn in an appropriate square on the grid to indicate when maintenance will be due in accordance with the periodicity indicated by the maintenance schedule. Completion of items is indicated by cross marking the original diagonal line. 0715 Central Planning Board. Each department is provided with a display board covering a period of four months. Panels at the bottom and side can be marked with the ships programme and section responsible for the work being planned. Central planning cards for the maintenance due in the ensuing four months, are extracted from their plastic envelop and arranged on the board to suit the ships programme. By referring to the planning cards on the board the work due each week can be allocated. Cards are removed from the board when the work related to them has been completed. Thus the board also provides a visual indication of maintenance work due or outstanding at any time. 0716 Section Planning Board. These are provided in each section and are made up weekly with the names of rating in the section and the tasks they are required to perform. Attached to each board are two boxes, in to one of which the plastic envelops containing the maintenance record cards and instruction card for the maintenance items to be under taken are placed for collection by the rating who will carry out the work. Cards for completed work are put in the second box from where they are returned to the departmental planning office. 0717 Operation of the E2 system. At the start of each four monthly planning period the departmental master planner is to:(a) Mark the ship programme for the next four months on the board to indicate time at sea, in harbour, AMP etc. (b) Refer to the master plan to identify all maintenance items due to be under taken in the ensuring four months. (c) Extract from the plastic envelops for each item to be under taken the central planning card and place these cards in the board to suit the ships programme and to provide as even as possible distribution of work through out the planning period.

(d) Replace plastic envelops with remaining contents in the index cabinets in correct sequence. 0718 Task Allocation By Master Planner. At the end of each week the departmental master planner is to extract from the index i ndex cabinets the plastic envelops, complete with the enclosures, for work due to be done during the next week and pass them to the heads of section who will be responsible for getting the work done. 0719 Task Allocation At Section Level.

CHAPTER IX REFIT AND REPAIRS

0901 Annual Refit Conference (ARC). Annual Refit Conference is called by NHQ. All the C-in-Cs, ASDs, MSs and Fleet Commanders attend this meeting. Following are discussed in this conference. (a) (b) (c) (d)

Progress of refit work of ships under refit. Ships due for refit and their refit programme. Allotment of ships for refit to different naval refitting authority Off-loading ships for refit to civil refitting authority.

0902 On completion of refit conference, conference, NHQ(DFM) promulgate the refit programme of ships to commands and dockyards. Refit cycle for different class of ships are given at No 48/79. 0903 Refit Planning Programme. Based on the decisions taken during the ARC, a Refit Planning Programme for the year is made by the planning floor of the dockyard. In order to ensure that the refit activities are timely and successfully completed this programme is forwarded to ships and other authority to take timely action prior to commencement of refit. 0904 Defect list Conference A defect list conference is held in the dockyard before refit commences. The following attend the defect list conference. Command: CSO(TECH), CEO, CRO, CLO Dockyard: GM(R), AGM(PL), AGM(PR), DGM(Mat), Production Managers. Ships staff: Commanding Officer, EXO, EO, LO and Shipwright Officer Material Org: CMP At this forum following discussed and decision are taken:(a) Major scope of work (b) Finalisation of defect list remarks. (c) Ships milestone (cardinal dates) 0905 Pre Refit Trials. Pre Refit Trials are programmed 5 weeks before commencement of normal refits and above to enable better appreciation of the actual state of machinery performance of ships due to commence scheduled refit. 0906 In addition to confirming confirming the defects projected projected by the ship's staff, these trials also aid in identifying fresh defects which may have arisen since the submission of defect list, or those defects overlooked or not adequately recognized for any reason. These trials are to include details of performance checks of engineering and electrical main machinery, auxiliaries and their systems. The trial schedule is to be intimated to MTU and ETMA well in advance and the readiness of machinery, equipment required by MTU/ ETMA for pre refit trials is to be intimated by the ship, at least one week in advance to MTU/ETMA and command headquarters and dockyard.

0907 MTU/ ETMA represent the Administrative Authority (Command) (Command) and witness all such trials and render independent reports on the performance of machinery together with list of defects observed and recommended limitation of the equipments, remedial measures and necessity for repeat trials. All such important defects and deficiencies are to be made good during refits. 0908 Post Refit Trials. Post Refit Trials of both engineering and electrical machinery of the ship's that have undergone scheduled refits and modernizations is witnessed by MTU/ ETMA in three phases, namely harbour, preliminary and final sea trials. Refitting authority also associates themselves with all these trials to help in providing satisfactory performance of machinery/ equipment/ systems. 0909 Refit Monitoring. The refit of the ship is planned and controlled with reference to milestones decided jointly at Defect List Conference. As some work during refit will be the responsibility of SS/ FMU/ AST and other civil agencies, there will obvious be considerable interaction between activities of dockyard and other agencies. The complexity of the present generation ships requires effective planning and controlling of progress of the refit so that essential services are available on time for testing tuning and setting to work of equipments. The cardinal dates for all milestones are therefore communicated by Dockyard (planning dept) to the ship and all concerned. 0910 Refit Coordinator. To ensure efficient working of the system, the progress of refit, a refit co-coordinator is appointed for the ship by the planning department of the dockyard. He interacts closely with ship staff and the production floors in the dockyard. He represents the Manager (Planning) for day to day monitoring of refit. 0911 Meeting with Manager. Ship staff works in close collaborations with all Dockyard Production Managers so that areas requiring attention are brought to the notice of the concerned department without wasting any time. Ship staff is to constantly maintain a liaison with the various managers to ensure timely completion of the projected work. 0912 Meeting with AGM(PR). Fortnightly Refit Progress Meeting is chaired by AGM(PR). Matters which could not be solved with the managers are discussed here. In addition policy matters, review of milestones and Dockyard Completion Date (DCD) is discussed. 0913 Refit Office. When ship is scheduled for refit, a Refit office is opened to monitor all refit related activities. The Engineering Officer is generally designated as the Refit Officer. The refit office is manned by sailors from the engineering, electrical hull department. The functions of the refit office are following:(a) Receive dockyard workers and direct them to their place of work. (b) Issue gate passes for items which are taken out from ship for repair.

0918 Form IN 477. Form IN 477 is forwarded by the planning manager to the ships prior to completion of her refit. The form is completed by the ship staff and forwarded, duly signed to the dockyard with in 4 weeks of its receipt. Any reservation and comments on the refit work package is to be recorded and appended to this form by ships. REFIT MANAGEMENT 0919 During the operation operation periods of ships the ships staff does does not have the time to carry out the maintenance routine due on machinery/equipment. The equipment  /machinery also may not be available since they are operating to meet the operational commitment. To overcome these difficulties the ships are planned for self/ assisted maintenance of machinery /equipments as also refits to cater for major overhauls. These ops cum refit cycles differ for each class of ships. 0920 Self Maintenance Period. This is a period which will be arranged in the ships program to give the ship an opportunity to carry out maintenance with out any assistance i.e maintenance by ships staff. Assistance may be taken from Afloat Support Teams/ Fleet Maintenance Unit. 0921 Assisted Maintenance Period. This is a period which will be arranged in the ships program to give the ship an opportunity to carry out maintenance with assistance of dockyard. These are arranged since the ships are so designed and complimented that the ships staff are unable to keep abreast of normal incidence of minor defect and maintenance without external support.

0922 When ships are programmed for AMP they they are to forward defects list in the form of AWRF as follows:(a) To Command HQ with copy to Dockyard 5 week before starting date. (b) AWRFs are to be sent together for each Hull, Engineering, Electrical, and Weapon department. (c) AWRF are to include all the outstanding maintenance schedule which could not be done by ships staff (over 04 months periodically) and can be completed with in AMP period. (d) AWRF should include all defect which have arisen during the operational phase and could not be done by the ships staff/ are beyond SS capacity. Command HQ will scrutinize the AWRF and forward remarks to dockyard for assistance wherever necessary. After the submission of AWRF only operational defect will be considered. Such defect will be discussed with Command Refit Officer and assistance, if required will be asked by command by signal. 0923 Refit. This is a period which will be arranged in the ships program to give the ship an opportunity to carry out major routines falling due on machinery by time and by running hours. Assistance is sought from dockyard/ equipment manufacturers for refitting of these equipments. All defects/ routines are projected to Command (for Command Refit Officer) and to Dockyard by Defect Lists. The procedure for raising these defect lists and composition of each defect list is laid down in subsequent paragraphs. 0924 Raising Defect List. On receiving the refit programme from command and RPP from refit authorities, ship's staff prepares the defect list department wise. The Engineering Officer of the ship as the Refit Officer complies the defect list of ship. Defect list should be accurate, comprehensive and be submitted in time to allow the refitting authority to plan refit properly. The defect list is rendered as follows:Defect List Part I. It contains the maintenance routines which are/  (a) would fall due by end of refit by time or running hours.
