The P2 Equipment Program was designed to provide pre-production P2 equipment to the Navy Environmental Leadership (NELP) activities for the demonstration and evaluation and for transfer of successful technologies to Navy Fleet activities through centralized procurement. A spreadsheet package is used to input data obtained from the various claimants (who in turn receive data from the bases)into predefined formats. The CNO provides assistance on the types of P2initiatives that may be taken, including process changes, material substitutions, etc.
Cost data, compiled from pre-production equipment demonstrations at NELP sites, is evaluated for technical feasibility and operational cost savings. Immediate cost avoidance savings are determined simply by evaluating where savings occur as a result of implementing the P2 equipment. Long-term assessments are determined by conducting Life Cycle Cost Analyses that incorporate costs associated with the entire program over a ten year period. Parameters include costs associated with hardware, logistics, workload requirements to procure and implement equipment, and equipment installation. The payback for a given piece of equipment is usually computed. The program has a number of benefits:
