Generous Manpower
Crab
You say that your engineering manpower is driven by the requirement to observe military engineering practices. Well is it time to examine those ideas and make a positive change rather than stick to something just because it has always been that way? You also say that the AW/VT ontract will be 31 people per unit. 4 shifts of 5 makes 20 plus 11 extras. A day shift and a night shift of 5 each plus a standby shift of another 5 every day. I am sure someone can be bothered to do the maths but this seems like very generous manpower to me.
