PERFORMANCE STANDARDS

thority to measure quality, quantity, performance, or service. As a supervisor, you must ensure that the standards are met that are set by the Navy, your ship and division, and you. The standards that you will deal with on a continuing basis are performance stan- dards and equipment standards, as described in the following subsections. Use these standards to develop a training program for your division to encompass all aspects of your subordinates’ rating. basic skills and knowledges concerning the well-being of Navy personnel. An example of an E-6 naval standard is: “NAVSTD 944601— Write enlisted performance evaluations.” NAVSTDs are also used for curriculum develop- ment at basic training commands and apprentice train- ing facilities. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS Occupational Standards Performance standards include naval standards (NAVSTDs), occupational standards (OCCSTDs), and personnel qualification standards (PQSs). The Manual of Navy Enlisted Manpower and Personnel Classifica- tions and Occupational Standards, NAVPERS 18068 (commonly called the Occupational Standards Man- ual lists the minimum skills requirements for each rate within each rating. You are probably already fa- miliar with much of this information. Naval Standards Naval standmds (NAVSTDs) are task statements that are not rating specific. They are the basis on which the military requirements training manuals are developed. Section I of NAVPERS 18068 lists the naval stan- dards (NAVSTDs) for each paygrade. These are the skills and knowledges essential to the overall effec- tiveness of the enlisted personnel in the performance of their duties. Naval standards encompass military requirements, essential virtues of professionalism, pride of service in support of the oath of en- listment. maintenance of good order and discipline, and Occupational standards (OCCSTDs) are rating- specific skills and knowledges. They are listed in NAVPERS 18068 for each rating. (Since OCCSTDs are rating specific, they cannot be performed by all Navy personnel advancing to chief petty officer. They apply only to personnel in a specific rating.) These OCCSTDs are only the minimum require- ments for enlisted occupational skills. The content of the training manual you are now reading is based on the OCCSTDs for FC1 and FCC. OCCSTDs are used in the development of training manuals and rating advancement exams. They are also used in the development of class A and class C school curricula, formal shipboard training, on-the-job train- ing (OJT), and general rating training for divisions. NAVPERS 18068 is kept current by numbered changes. However, these changes are issued more fre- quently than most training manuals can be revised. Therefore, the training manuals may not always reflect the latest OCCSTDs. Since the advancement examinations are also based on Navy OCCSTDs, you should always check the latest changes to ensure that your personnel know the current requirements for advancement in the rating. An example of an FCC occupational standard is: “OCCSTD K464— Modify weapons and target pairing. ” 1-4
