BALANCING WORKFORCE TO WORKLOAD. An industrial workforce is not easily
turned on or off in response to surges in workload. To maximize Yard assets and value to the
customer, the Yard is aggressively moving toward balancing its workforce in response to
customer workload. This on-going planning process is the best guarantee that an adequate
number of workers is available when needed and in the correct trade mix (welders, painters,
electricians, etc.) required by the workload. The Yard projects committed workload out five
years and candidate workload for an additional ten years. The basic composition of the
workload is governed by the work categories specified in reference (a). The Yard will work
closely with its customers to identify their near and long term workload needs.
6.
ACTION. Area commanders and chiefs of offices at Headquarters shall ensure compliance
with the policy of this instruction.
7.
CHANGES. Recommendations for improvement to this instruction shall be submitted to
Commandant (G-ENE).
