| New trial for
MAPS By Peter Hudson DNPISM Communications and Training Officer Edition 5006, April 19, 2007 |
| One of the measures Navy is actively examining
to improve the working conditions of our people and assist with our members
work/life balance, is the trial of a new software tool to assist with human
resources management. Three years ago an initial assessment of the Manpower Analysis & Planning System (MAPS) was carried out by the Sea Change Implementation Team. They found it was capable of managing a range of RAN ship borne activities. The purpose of the new trial is to evaluate the functionality of the MAPS software and its value to Navy. It aims to: replace existing Microsoft Excel and Access templates to enable better human resource decision making; reduce the administrative load of senior sailors; increase consistency across the fleet including building a core body of data and knowledge. The first trial is expected to take place onboard an eastern based non-flexi crewing ship in May and the second trial onboard HMAS Arunta in July. Regular trial updates and further information regarding the MAPS trial can be found on the MAPS webpage of the Directorate of Navy Personnel Information Systems intranet site http://intranet.defence.gov.au/NavyWeb/sites/DNPISM/. For any MAPS related queries please contact Mr. Steven House, MAPS Manager, on (02) 6266 5349 or via email steven.house1@defence.gov.au. |
