At first glance, it might appear that maritime organisations and defence forces are worlds apart but probe a little deeper and there are many similarities, especially when it comes to the key challenges they share. Challenges such as knowing what manpower is available and where it is located, training personnel to enable them to perform at their very best and then deploying the best-skilled people to various projects or missions around the world, while keeping them safe and compliant within finite budgets.
In both sectors effective workforce deployment is essential and the best approach is to combine automated technology with people and processes to encourage consistent ways of working, boost team collaboration, share knowledge and learning and so create a safe workplace at all times. This White Paper focuses on three key areas – People, Planning and Scheduling and Communications to demonstrate what the maritime and defence sectors can learn from each other by deploying the latest workforce and resource optimisation solutions available today.
