ENGINEMAN 1 & Ccontains document samples and explains how theyare used. It provides recommendations forintroducing the EOSS system and the methods fortraining the ship’s personnel in utilizing the pro-cedures set forth in this system.EOSS documentation is developed usingwork-study techniques. All existing methods andprocedures for plant operation and casualty con-trol procedures are documented, including theactual ship procedures as well as those procedurescontained in available reference sources.Each action taken is subjected to a criticalexamination to evaluate the adequacy of thepresent procedures. At the completion of thisanalysis phase new procedural steps are developedinto an operational sequencing system, andstep-by-step time-sequenced procedures and con-figuration diagrams are prepared to show theplant layout in relation to operational com-ponents. The final step in the development phaseof an EOSS is a validation on board ship checkconducted to ensure technical accuracy and ade-quacy of the prepared sequencing system. Allrequired corrections are made and then incor-porated into the package before installationaboard ship.The resulting sequencing system provides thebest tailored operating and engineering opera-tional casualty control procedures available per-taining to a particular ship’s propulsion plant.Each level is provided with the information re-quired to enable the engineering plant to respondto any demands placed upon it.ENGINEERING OPERATIONAL PRO-CEDURES (EOP).—The operational portion ofthe EOSS contains all the information necessaryfor the proper operation of a ship’s engineeringplant. It also contains guides for scheduling, con-trolling, and directing plant evolutions throughoperational modes from receiving shore services,to various modes of inport auxiliary plant steam-ing, to underway steaming.The EOP documentation is prepared forspecifically defined operational stages. These aredefined as Stages I, II, and III.Stage I is considered as the total engineeringplant level under the direct cognizance of the plantsupervisor (EOOW). The officer coordinates theplacing in operation and securing of all systemsand components normally controlled by thevarious 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 EOPdocumentation assists you, the plant supervisor,in ensuring optimum plant operating efficiency,properly sequencing of events in each operationalevolution, and the training of newly assigned per-sonnel. During a plant evolution, you will con-trol and designate the operation of the followingsystems and components:Systems that interconnect one or moreengineering plant machinery spaces and the elec-trical system.Major components such as boilers, mainengines, and electrical generators.Systems and components required to sup-port the engineering plant or other ship functionssuch as distilling plants, air compressors, steamsystem to catapults, and thrust blocks which areplaced in operation or secured in response todemand upon their services.To assist you the plant supervisor with theseoperations, the EOP section provides you with thefollowing documents:Index pages listing each document in theStage I station book by identification number andtitle.Plant procedure charts (figure 2-19) pro-viding step-by-step procedures for each engineer-ing plant evolution. (NOTE: At the time thispublication was prepared for printing, EOSSdiagrams illustrating specific equipment for whichthe Engineman is responsible were not available;the example used, in this section, however, il-lustrates the types of EOSS diagrams usedregardless of equipment .)2-32
