Long Questions

Question 1

How do you conduct a supersession?

Answer 1

NAVORD 5275-1
Incoming LogO should meet with: N41 to review the last LRI; MOC Advisors for manning; F4 and BLogO to get an appreciation of the Logistics operations. Ensure your qualifications are up to date (EMC, CDWT, Resource Manager, ACC Course). Then meet with the Departmental Coordinator and Section Heads to get an understanding of the Division (manning, weak areas) and brief your supersession plan. Conduct a walk-through of the Division’s spaces and schedule stocktaking and PF/NPF Verifications.

Public Funds- Verify ACS and WCF, change safe combinations, review budget and redo DOAs. Confirm manning and personnel issues.

Non-Public Funds- Verify NPF stocktaking, cash count, Balance Sheet and Income Statement. Confirm manning and personnel issues.

Supply- Verify materiel accountability, security, store rooms. 100% stocktaking of provisions, clothing and SCAs. Review the MAST and Quarterly Reports of Write-offs. Confirm manning and personnel issues.

Food Services- Review Quarterly Food Services Report, UNITRAK, REAV, CF 1009s and Cyclical Menu. Confirm manning and personnel issues.

Once completed, sign the supersession certificate, Supply Handover, NPF Handover and Accounting Officer certificates. Brief the CO/XO on the results of the supersession. If there is any outstanding items that cannot be completed before the outgoing LogO has left, this should be annotated on the supporting documents.
