NAVOCEANOINST 5450.1A CH-6 6 MAY 1985 ORGANIZATIONAL CRITERIA REQUIREMENTS OF ORGANIZATION Coordination of organization of the work of the Naval Oceanographic Office requires that: a. The functions of each component be defined and that every authorized function be assigned to a component; b. Degrees and kinds of authority delegated to components and individuals be carefully defined and recorded; c. Simple and direct lines of communication among individuals and com- ponents be established; and, d. The structure of an organization be thoroughly understood, particularly by supervisors who are responsible for carrying out principal functions. PRINCIPLES OF ORGANIZATION In establishing new organizational components or reorganizing existing ones, the following principles will be observed: a. The primary purpose of any component of an organization is to execute the functions delegated to it; therefore, the internal organization structure of the components should be designed to facilitate executing the functions. Development and design of organizations will give consideration to work design, costs, increased productivity and career development; b. Every necessary functicn involved in the mission or objectives of the organization must be assigned to an element of the organization. However, the organization must be balanced so that essential functions are not neglected and subsidiary functions are not overemphasized; c. Responsibilities assigned to the various components must be specific, and if different components perform related or similar functions, a clear line of separation must be drawn between authorities and respcisibilities; d. The assignment of responsibilities for specific functions must be coupled with the assignment of authority necessary to perform the functions; e. To speed the flow of instructions and information, the number of levels of authority must be kept at a minimum; #. Authority and responsibility for action should be decentralized to the greatest extent practicable to the components and individuals responsible for actual performance of operations; 0910-2

Insofar as possible, all functions, except specialized functions as defined herein, should be assigned to line organization components so that direct channels of responsibility and accountability are maintained. The establishment of staff components should be held to a minimum; h. A high degree of organizational Stability will be maintained by limiting vealignments to those required by changes in mission or function and those which will improve effectiveness and efficiency; 1. The number of organizational elements will be held to a minimum and ele- ments performing related functions will be consolidated into manageable segments cf effort; j- Management and common support functions will be centralized to the maxi- mum degree in the staff entity having primary responsibility. Management and common support functions authorized in line elements will be limited to the minimum essential for coordination purposes; k. Ordinarily, organizational elements wili not be officially maintained or established if there are less than four positions authorized. Organizational elements that directly manage lower level organizational elements are exempt from this policy, as are staff organizations with discrete and well defined functions; and, 1. Should workload, supervisory ratio, staffing standards and other posi- tion management factors not warrant organizational status of an element, it will be consolidated with other related functions. However, in lieu of effecting consolidations resulting in a combination of unrelated/incompatible functions/ skills, the functions will be assigned to the immediate office of the head of the next higher level of supervision. , 4910-3
