The Effect of Sea/Shore Rotation on Enlisted Skill Utilization
Published Date: September 1, 1988
This research memorandum examines one of the major constraints on skill utilization for Navy enlisted personnel: the requirements for sea/shore rotation. It presents a simple model of the relationship between the rotation policy for a skill community and the utilization rate for that skill. The model can be used to calculate the number of people needed to keep requirements filled while maintaining the prescribed rotation patterns. The model is applied both to ratings and to Navy Enlisted Classification codes (NECs).
