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  function  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  responsibilities; 
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; 
f.  Authority  and  responsibility  for  action  should  be  decentralized  to  the 
greatest  extent  practicable  to  the  components  and  individuals  responsible  for 
actual  performance  of  operations;

g.  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 
realignments  to  those  required  by  changes  in  mission  or  function  and  those  which 
will  improve  effectiveness  and  efficiency; 
i.  The  number  of  organizational  elements  will  be  held  to  a  minimum  and  ele- 
ments performing  related  functions  will  be  consolidated  into  manageable  seqments 
of  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  will  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.
