  1. Crew Endurance Management System(CEMS)

  2. Objectives • STATE key Crew Endurance Management System (CEMS) elements. • VERIFY Crew Endurance Management System CEMS participation.

  3. The Issues • What is CEMS? • Management system to manage risk factors that lead to human error & performance degradation • Why implement CEMS? • Improve organization’s safety culture • What benefit is there? • Improved work environment • What kind of support is available? • Management and coach support to ensure continuous improvement

  4. Crew Endurance The ability to maintain performance within safety limits… …while enduring job-related physiological, psychological, and environmental challenges.

  5. Crew Endurance Management System A systematic process for managing the risk factors that can lead to human error and performance degradation in maritime work environments.

  6. Commercial Towing Operations 24 Hours a Day 7 Days a Week 365 Days a Year

  7. Our Goal • Continuous improvement through… • Proactive Steps • Coast Guard Support

  8. Energy and Alertness Levels During the Day RedZone: The Lowest Point of Energy Energy Daylight Daylight 1200 2100 0700 1200 Time of Day

  9. Sleep Cycles • Adult must have 7 to 8 hours of uninterruptedsleep in order to recharge their cognitive abilities (the ability to reason). • It takes that same individual a minimum of 20 minutes to fall asleep. Any faster and the indication is that individual is in sleep debt mode (body catch-up…..).

  10. Preventing PerformanceDegradation • Shift the biological clock through… • Light management • Uninterrupted sleep

  11. Risk Factors That Affect Endurance Health & Nutrition Sleep Quality & Duration Stress Body Clock Stability ENDURANCE Environmental Stressors Motion Sickness Physical Conditioning Work Schedules

  12. What CEMS Provides • A field-tested, non-regulatory solution • An opportunity to act proactively • Improved operational effectiveness

  13. Development of CEMS THE REAL WORLD FROM THE to APPLICATION SCIENCE/LAB

  14. CEMS Implementation In the Commercial Maritime Towing Community

  15. Analyze Current Situation Train Working Group Set Up Working Group Train Entire Crew Deployment: 2 Coach Crew Implement CEP Assess the Results Working Group Modifies Cycle Assessment: 3 The CEM Process Development: 1 Create Crew Endurance Plan

  16. Upper Mgmt Vertical Alignment Middle Management Vessel Management Vessel Crews & Support Personnel Management Commitment at All Levels

  17. CEMS Coaches to Introduce and Implement • Must be the champions of CEMS • Must believe in CEMS and the process • Must have full management commitment at alllevels (vertical alignment)

  18. CEM Guide Defines risk factors Provides a step-by-step method to: • Identify relevant risk factors • Mitigate identified risk factors

  19. Example of CEMS-Generated Vessel Improvements - Blocking Out Light Intrusion -

  20. Example of CEMS-Generated Vessel Improvements - Noise Reduction-

  21. Other Examples of Vessel Modifications • Air Cleaners (reduce carbon monoxide) • Lighting Improvements • Nighttime Adaptation • Watch Schedule Changes • Day Room Improvements • Nutritional Content Of Meals Improvements • Napping Policies / Better Mattresses & Pillows • Air Flow / Temperature • Off-watch Adaptations • Shower • Laundry

  22. What Are The Benefits? • CEMS is a field-tested, non-regulatory solution. • CEMS packages scientific knowledge for use in improving the living and working environment of mariners. • CEMS improves operational safety and mission effectiveness.

  23. What Is Required? • Management support at all levels • Trained coaches and support materials • Working groups for each vessel • Development of Crew Endurance Plan for each vessel • Working group management of Crew Endurance Plan implementation

  24. What Support is Available? • The Coast Guard – AWO safety partnership • CEMS working group • Certified experts and coaches Working Together to Improve Maritime Towing Operations

  25. In Conclusion… Why Is CEMS Important? Unchecked endurance factors affect alertness and long-term health of mariners that affect both the company and individual mariner’s bottom line.
