Risk mitigationand management intervention plans have, however,been developed in order to reduce the possibility ofthese risks becoming untenable.The most important output risk being managed withinthe short to medium term is the lack of sufficientresources to meet all requirements. This risk manifestsitself mainly in the areas of the continued ability to conductthe required and contracted qualification trials inorder to accept the special strategic defence packagesinto service, the ability to meet the life cycle costs of thenew equipment and the ability to establish/adapt theinfrastructure to support the new equipment.Additional funds have been allocated by NationalTreasury as part of the mitagation actions. Actions havebeen initiated for more effectiveness, efficiency, and costeffectiveness, by establishing capabilities in industrythrough technology transfer programmes, facilityupgrade/build programmes, maintaining a minimumcore conventional capability, downsizing the force structureto a level where it is both affordable and sustainableand disposal of redundant/obsolete equipment. The SANavy is further committed to maintaining personnelrelated expenditure at 60% of its allocation.A further risk is the availability and development of thepersonnel needed to support the new equipment. Thisrisk is mitigated by firstly downscaling existing capabilitiesto release personnel, and secondly, a large numberof personnel have been sent overseas for training. Theintroduction of the Military Skills Development ServiceSystem into the SA Navy has also contributed to a rejuvenatedand young human resources component whichwill be used to further negate the risk.SERVICES TO BE SCALED DOWNSUSPENDED OR ABOLISHEDSubprogrammeReduction in OutputReason for Scaling Down/Suspension of ServiceShortfall/Savings(R'000s)ImplicationsMaritimelogisticscapabilityClosure of ArmamentDepot Durban (Serviceto be provided in Simon'sTown)Reduction in costs and improvedefficiency through consolidationand concentration offacilities in Simon's Town0(Transferred)It is planned that thefacility will only be closedat the end of FY2006/07Maritimetraining (HRsupport)capabilityInvestigations launchedito DOD PlanningInstruction 07/02 re rationalisationof SA Navytraining unitsIncreasing efficiency, effectivenessand economy throughproposed reductions andadjustments to DOD forcestructure0(Transferred)Savings will only beeffected once the newfacilities are handed overto the SA Navy - scheduledfor FY2008/09Table 8.5Services / Outputs to be Scaled Down or Suspended66D E P A R T M E N T O F D E F E N C E
chapter 8PERFORMANCE AND SERVICEDELIVERY IMPROVEMENTThe SA Navy plans to implement new, and maintainexisting measures aimed at improving service delivery,reducing costs and increasing efficiency duringFY2006/07. Most of these measures stem from theimplementation of recommendations contained in theNavy Review and from the "to be approved DOD forcedesign and structure". The main focus areas of thesemeasures are as follows: The downsizing of the SA Navy force structurewithout affecting the critical mass for sustainability,to a level where it becomes moreaffordable and sustainable.The disposal of redundant / obsolete forcestructure elements and their associated systemsso as to create capacity for accepting thecorvettes and submarines into service.The preparation of representative humanresources for operating the new vessels.The rejuvenation of facilities.The preparation of naval forces for meetingordered defence commitments, especially forutilisation within the African battlespace.ActivitiesPlanned Management InterventionAnticipated BenefitStatusNaval Order:OrganisationalExcellence ThroughImproved ServiceDeliveryInstitutionalisation of Naval Order onOrganisational Excellence throughimproved service delivery; encompassesfull spectrum of organisationalfunctioning (ongoing evolution)Increased service delivery; optimisedinterface managementIn processImplementation ofNO Plans 23/2004.The SA Navy’sstrategic directionprocessOptimisation of SA Navy StrategicDirection Process with specific referenceto alignment of planning processesat L2, L3 and L4 (ongoing evolution)The four subsidiary elements of theSA Navy Strategic Direction Processwill be formalised, regulated and optimised,with concomitant effects onservice deliveryIn processEnvironmental PolicyIncorporation of force preparation andforce employment activities withaspects such as reporting whales anddolphins on patrol reports and sinkingtargets as artificial reefs (ongoing evolution)Enhanced public image, as also continuous,entrenched support to otherState departmentsContinuousOperational SupportInformation System(OSIS)Continued work to clean up data bymeans of the Bill of Materials projectDisposal of related surplus / obsoleteequipment (ongoing evolution)Unit Information Management Systemphased out (ongoing evolution)Implementation of OSIS and establishingit as the basis of the configurationmanagement, maintenance planningand materiel accounting systemof the SA NavyIn ProcessImplementation of performance measurementmodel (ongoing evolution)Training of personnel (ongoingevolution)Table 8.6Maritime Defence Programme - Performance and Service Delivery ImprovementS T R A T E G I C B U S I N E S S P L A N F Y 2 0 0 6 / 0 7 T O 2 0 0 8 / 0 967
