He/she defines thelifesaving need, which in turn requires boats, equipment, buildingsand capable people. This in turn requires funding, but fundingalso can only be achieved with strong cases for support.OVERVIEWThis document sets out how we plan to fulfil our purpose ofsaving lives at sea by stating, within the context of our longtermstrategy, how we intend to deliver the required people,equipment and other resources to provide capacity to:• meet an annual demand of up to 10,000 operationallifeboat launches• attend up to 35,000 lifeguard incidents• deploy flood rescue teams in the UK or RoI with the capabilityonce every 2 years to be tasked further afield• operate a comprehensive maritime safety and data collectioncentre for the UK and RoI• enhance the capabilities of emerging/developing SAR-relatedorganisations overseas, funded by international sales ofconsultancy, equipment and training.Our key long-term priorities are to:• deliver a 25-knot all-weather lifeboat fleet• provide lifeguard coverage at identified locations• maintain our position as a leading organisation incoastal safety.Over the next 5 years our key objective is to work steadilytowards our key priorities while containing overall expenditureand ensuring that our lifesaving service can be provided in themost efficient way.The key themes running through the plan are:Stability of the capital expenditure requirements: this will beachieved primarily through the implementation of the long-termall-weather lifeboat strategy (20+ years). In practical terms thiswill involve balancing the operational needs with the capacity todeliver the programme, available funding and reserves.IMPROVEMENT TARGETSIn delivering our rescue service, and everything that contributestowards it, we will continuously improve how we work until thefollowing aspirations are met and we end preventable loss of lifeat sea. These targets are expressed throughout the RNLI as:PeopleEveryone believes they canimprove the RNLI and strivesto do so.QualityRight first time, every time.Asset deployment continues to be determined by a riskbasedapproach: the planning assumptions for total fleet sizeand lifeguard deployment are based on the assessment ofcasualty potential around the coast.Demonstrable efficiency and a continuous improvementculture: the culture change will be achieved through theadoption of Lean thinking throughout the organisation.Tight expenditure control: costs have been constrained toa level below inflation (other than for the direct cost of theexpanding service delivery – lifeguarding and new lifeboat fleet).Challenging fundraising targets: we are planning to increaseincome at a time when others in the charity sector are predictingdifficulty in maintaining current income levels.CostMaximum value atminimum cost.TimeOn time, every time.8
