Just as with all of the other broad respon-
sibilities you will acquire as a senior Ship’s
Serviceman, you will find that your duties
associated with the procurement of merchandise,
supplies, equipment, and services will be essen-
tially continuous. Remember, all your procure-
ment responsibilities will overlap—from the
maintenance of accurate records to the ordering
of stock items, supplies, and services. You must
understand the magnitude of these duties, for you
will be handling not only the ship’s funds but also
the well-being of your organization and of every
crew member on board your ship. Your best
efforts to maintain optimum stock levels and
accurate records, to obtain the goods and services
required by your ship’s personnel, and to provide
a well-organized ship’s store and service opera-
tion will pay off in terms of increased customer
satisfaction, greater financial accountability, and
fewer hassles from discrepancies and special
audits. You will also experience the self-
satisfaction of having successfully accomplished
a very demanding and complicated job.
