Navy Manpower Management: Continuing

Problems Impair The Credibility Of

Shore Establishment Requirements


Congress has long encouraged the Navy to develop a more
rigorous and credible system to determine manpower
requirements for its shore establishment. In response, the
Navy implemented its SHORSTAMPS (Shore Require-
ments, Standards, and Manpower Planning System) Pro-
gram in 1976. Because of dissatisfaction with this pro-
gram, the Navy, in 1983, approved an alternative--the
Shore Manpower Documents (SHMD) Program. The Navy
expects this new program to succeed where SHOR-
STAMPS did not.

GAO found major problems in SHORSTAMPS and some
potential problems in SHMD. Many of these problems are
technical ones, such as limited coverage by standards
developed through accepted work measurement tech-
niques or methods- improvement studies. However, GAO
believes that the most serious problems are a lack of
management oversight and inadequate controls at all
levels. Despite these problems, GAO believes that SHOR-
STAMPS and SHMD are better than no system at all and
ought to be improved rather than abandoned.
