Quick Abstract

Designing crewing concepts for ships requires complete information regarding the tasks that sailors must perform, since an incomplete understanding could result in unreasonable crew workloads and fatigue. It is therefore important to look at all sources of sailor workload. Primary duties, which belong to a billeted position, have been studied extensively in the past and are well-represented in existing crew models. Secondary duties, which are tasks assigned to individual sailors in addition to their primary duties, are not as well understood. This creates a significant risk in crew design. In this study, a simulation model has been developed to quantify the impact of secondary duties on sailor workload. The stochastic nature of the model makes it suitable for use in Monte Carlo experiments and allows it to explore the impact of combining one or more secondary duties with a sailor’s primary duties. This allows it to be used to create statistics suitable for applications, such as predicting fatigue rates, where extreme values are important. This paper describes the development, verification, and implementation of the model.
