help determine how to distribute shortages and excesses. The Navy Manning Plan (NMP) serves this purpose. It designates the ship’s “fair share” of current assets available in the Navy. The NMP is shown in the statistical summary in sections 4 and 5 of the EDVR. ACCURACY OF THE EDVR The EDVR is updated monthly by the ship’s office through enlisted diary entries. The diary entries are correspondence from the ship to EPMAC that update the enlisted personnel data bank. Individual detailing (ordering personnel to and from an activity) and manning decisions are, for the most part, based on information contained in the EDVR account. Therefore, each activity should keep its account up to date and accurate by submitting changes as they occur and reporting errors when the y are found. A letter in the “Verify Remarks (DD)” column of sections 3 and 4 of the EDVR requires special attention by the activity. The letters in the DD column refer to other columns in the EDVR. For example, an N in column DD indicates that column N information requires verification and an S indicates column S information needs verification. You should keep the activity’s EDVR current by making changes as they occur. An up-to-date EDVR is a valuable asset for your personnel management. It can substantially reduce time spent in the monthly verification of the report. When reviewing the billet status of your people or unit, notify the personnel officer of any errors you discover in the EDVR. The personnel officer can then take corrective actions. OFFICER DISTRIBUTION CONTROL REPORT The Officer Distribution Control Report (ODCR) is a statement of account of officer personnel on board. It is received on a monthly basis for verification with information contained in the BUPERS officer personnel data bank. It provides BUPERS with information needed to determine and evaluate officer personnel requirements.  The  ODCR  contains  the  following information: Billet titles Designator allowed on board for each billet Navy officer billet classification (NOBC)-job description Officer data-estimated loss date, dependents, subspecialty, and so forth One of the reports produced from the Active-Duty Naval Officer Automated Record at BUPERS is the Officer Data Card (ODC). The ODC provides information for detailing, selection boards, and so forth. A copy of the ODC is mailed to all officers annually for updating. DISTRIBUTION ACTIVITIES EPMAC is located in New Orleans, Louisiana, and is responsible for the assignment of all nonrated designated strikers. EPMAC also maintains the enlisted manpower data bank and distributes EDVRs for update monthly by each command. The Chief of Naval Personnel (CHNAVPERS) in Washington is responsible for assignment control of all designated strikers, petty officers (E-4 through E-9), and officers. FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY Do you know what it costs to run your division? Do you know the true value of the service your division or work center provides? You most likely know the answer to the first question. The department head probably keeps you well informed about the amount of money your division is spending. In addition, you probably hear how the division is going to have to do more work with less money next quarter. To answer the second question, you need to determine the tangible (monetary) and intangible (mission support) value of your division’s work. By doing that, you can show your command’s senior managers just how important the division’s services are. You can also show how cost-effective the division is. To figure the value of your division’s services, use a published civilian fee schedule and price list to calculate the civilian market value of the different jobs your division does. Then use General Services Administration  (GSA)  price  schedules  and NAVCOMPT Notice 7041 to compute the in-house costs of doing the same work. You will probably be surprised at how much it actually costs the division to do some of its jobs. You will also be surprised at the cost-effectiveness  of  your  division’s  work  when compared to the cost of the same job in the civilian market. 6-11
