NAVY SCHOOL MANAGEMENT MANUAL

the specifications for conformance. In general,
specifications are set as follows:
The Under Instruction (UI) specification is set at the
published course length plus additional days for
setbacks and Monday holidays, depending on the length
of the course. One additional day is allowed for any
amount of a 30-day increment of instruction. For
example, a 30-day course would be allowed one day,
whereas a 40-day course would be allowed one day for
the first 30-day increment and one additional day for
the next ten-day increment for a total of two days.
The NUI, includes Awaiting Instruction (AI), Awaiting
Transfer (AT), and Interruption of Instruction (II).
• AI specifications are based on the convening
frequency and whether or not additional
screenings (medical, legal, security, etc.) are
required before a student begins class.
• AT specifications are set for the last course in
the pipeline, based on historical data, but will
not exceed three days.
• II specifications are based on historical data
for the last two fiscal years.
TTT specification will be used as a baseline or
benchmark to assist the manager in reporting trends in
student flow within a training pipeline.
LCs shall establish necessary policies and procedures
to facilitate appropriate oversight management and
review of excess man-days occurring in all schools
under their purview.
It is the responsibility of the training and course
supervisors to continually monitor the excess man-day
reports as provided by TTT specifications to ensure
that the most efficient and effective means are used
to move students through the training pipeline.
Monitoring allows for early detection of variances and
provides the opportunity to isolate out-of-tolerance
areas that require corrective action. If a course is
reported with excessive man-days beyond the
specification levels, training and course supervisors
should first validate man-day expenditures at the
lowest level of data reported and verify data entry.
