Abstract
The Ship's Force Overhaul Management System (SFOMS) is a management control system used on board U. S. Navy ships in overhaul. SFOMS is just one of the many components of the entire shipboard management system, and in order to be effective, SFOMS must balance, support, or complement all of the other system components. This research identified SFOMS' effect on the shipboard authority structures of a destroyer in overhaul and the resultant effect on SFOMS usage. SFOMS did increase the authority of upper level managers by providing them with a wider range of access to work information. This caused some lower level supervisors to adjust SFOMS information to prevent their seniors from exercising greater control over them.
