Book excerpt: MOD asked RAND to undertake a follow-on study using a similar but expanded analytical approach to help it better understand how to sustain technical skills in the maritime sector. In particular, MOD was interested in exploring the relationship between the demand created by its ship and submarine acquisition programme and the supply of the technical workforce needed to support that programme. RAND analyzed these issues between 2006 and mid-2007, employing both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. This monograph describes the analytical procedures that the RAND team followed and summarizes its findings and recommendations. The results indicate that the supply-demand relationship is highly complex and that some technical skills are extremely sensitive to demand. As part of this project, RAND provided MOD with management tools that allowed it to model these dynamic relationships and assess options for sustaining these skills.
