69. Using the IMPRINT Tool to Develop a Simulated Manpower Model for Navy Vessel Acquisition
SessionPoster Session 2
DescriptionThis study aimed to provide insight into the use of discrete event simulation models as a method to inform the Royal Norwegian Navy (RNoN) acquisition process for making manpower requirements decisions. Work/rest data were collected on a Norwegian Coast Guard vessel (9-day underway, 22 crewmembers). Participants completed questionnaires pre/post-study, wore Ōura rings, and documented their work/rest patterns in activity logs. The Improved Performance Research Integration Tool (IMPRINT) was used to build two manpower models (Baseline, Augmented) that were compared in terms of workload, sleep, and task completion. Results showed that highly prioritized events were covered sufficiently. Additional tasks, however, reduced sleep among all sailors but mainly watchstanders. The decline in sleep duration was more an outcome of workload increase, with some crewmembers already having the least amount of sleep. Overall, the IMPRINT Pro Forces module can be a valuable tool for assessing manpower requirements during naval ship acquisitions.
