Abstract
The purpose of this thesis was to analyze the relationship
of fill ratios and personnel attributes to the performance
of seventeen operational DD 963 class ships. Data sets
were created from files provided by the Defense Manpower
Data Center to determine the fill ratios and attributes.
Descriptive aggregate data such as percentage of high schcol
graduates, entry ace, AFQT score and time in grade were
selected to provide demographic information for the
personnel involved. Summary CASREP data, provided by SPCC,
were converted to nine variables to be used as the measures
of ship performance. They included total downtime, downtime
due to maintenance, total number of CASREPS, and two "readiness"
indices. The relationships between these variables
and personnel attributes were examined at the ship, departmental
and individual rating level. Separate effects of the
individual Die's as well as overhaul quarters were accounted
for. Personnel attributes and number of personnel vs
personnel requirements had little relationship to readiness.
In summary, the relationships between personnel attributes,
personnel staffing levels and ship readiness measures remain
to be proven.
