I was discussing the new proposals for 1st asst with several engineers. As we got to “Organizing and preparing for shipyard”, subject E “Pareto’s Rule” raised a flag.
One Chief postulated if this rule must be used, then of 80% of the new requirements, only 20% are relevant. And 80% of that 20, only 20% would effect keeping the lights on, the wheels turning, and the bilges dry. I don’t think he’s too far off the mark.
