ENGINEMAN 1 & C
contains document samples and explains how they
are used. It provides recommendations for
introducing the EOSS system and the methods for
training the ships personnel in utilizing the pro-
cedures set forth in this system.
EOSS documentation is developed using
work-study techniques. All existing methods and
procedures for plant operation and casualty con-
trol procedures are documented, including the
actual ship procedures as well as those procedures
contained in available reference sources.
Each action taken is subjected to a critical
examination to evaluate the adequacy of the
present procedures. At the completion of this
analysis phase new procedural steps are developed
into an operational sequencing system, and
step-by-step time-sequenced procedures and con-
figuration diagrams are prepared to show the
plant layout in relation to operational com-
ponents. The final step in the development phase
of an EOSS is a validation on board ship check
conducted to ensure technical accuracy and ade-
quacy of the prepared sequencing system. All
required corrections are made and then incor-
porated into the package before installation
aboard ship.
The resulting sequencing system provides the
best tailored operating and engineering opera-
tional casualty control procedures available per-
taining to a particular ships propulsion plant.
Each level is provided with the information re-
quired to enable the engineering plant to respond
to any demands placed upon it.
ENGINEERING OPERATIONAL PRO-
CEDURES (EOP).The operational portion of
the EOSS contains all the information necessary
for the proper operation of a ships engineering
plant. It also contains guides for scheduling, con-
trolling, and directing plant evolutions through
operational modes from receiving shore services,
to various modes of inport auxiliary plant steam-
ing, to underway steaming.
The EOP documentation is prepared for
specifically defined operational stages. These are
defined as Stages I, II, and III.
Stage I is considered as the total engineering
plant level under the direct cognizance of the plant
supervisor (EOOW). The officer coordinates the
placing in operation and securing of all systems
and components normally controlled by the
various space supervisors. The EOOW also super-
vises those functions which affect conditions ex-
ternal to the engineering plant such as jacking,
testing, and spinning main engines. The EOP
documentation assists you, the plant supervisor,
in ensuring optimum plant operating efficiency,
properly sequencing of events in each operational
evolution, and the training of newly assigned per-
sonnel. During a plant evolution, you will con-
trol and designate the operation of the following
systems and components:
Systems that interconnect one or more
engineering plant machinery spaces and the elec-
trical system.
Major components such as boilers, main
engines, and electrical generators.
Systems and components required to sup-
port the engineering plant or other ship functions
such as distilling plants, air compressors, steam
system to catapults, and thrust blocks which are
placed in operation or secured in response to
demand upon their services.
To assist you the plant supervisor with these
operations, the EOP section provides you with the
following documents:
Index pages listing each document in the
Stage I station book by identification number and
title.
Plant procedure charts (figure 2-19) pro-
viding step-by-step procedures for each engineer-
ing plant evolution. (NOTE: At the time this
publication was prepared for printing, EOSS
diagrams illustrating specific equipment for which
the Engineman is responsible were not available;
the example used, in this section, however, il-
lustrates the types of EOSS diagrams used
regardless of equipment .)
