EOCC Verification Checks

It offers many advantages to the ship’s operational readiness capabilities and provides detailed, step-by-step sequencing of events for all phases of the engineering plant operation. Because it is work-studied and system-oriented, the EOSS provides the basic information for the optimum use of equipment and systems. It does this by specifying correct procedures tailored for a specific plant configuration. The EOSS is not intended to eliminate the need for skilled plant operators. No program or system can achieve such a goal. The EOSS is a tool for better use of manpower and available skills. Although the EOSS is an excellent tool for shipboard training of personnel, it is primarily a working system for scheduling, controlling, and directing plant operations and casualty control procedures. EOCC VERIFICATION CHECKS Since EOCC procedures are a part of the EOSS, EOCC verification checks should be performed whenever the EOSS is verified. The purpose of verification checks is to validate required changes to EOCC procedures due to authorized SHIPALTs, changes in operating philosophy, or changes in parameters. 1-15
