PURPOSE | PURPOSE |
The Establishment Officer system evolved from the Product-Org system where it was found the HAS alone could not Establish the Org. The Product-Org Officer System is entirely valid and is not changed. Tapes up to and including No. 7 of the Prod-Org System (also called the FEBC Tapes) are correct. From No. 8 onward, the Prod-Org Tapes are replaced by the Est 0 Series Tapes. It is important to know that when the Org Officer is removed from a unit "because it now has an Est O" it will practically destroy the unit and crash its stats. Taking the Org Officer out of a division or org and making him the Est 0 is a guarantee of a crash. The Est O is an Extension of the original HCO System as an Est 0 performs all the functions of HCO for the activity to which he is assigned plus his own tech of being an Est O. | The Establishment Officer system evolved from the Product-Org system where it was found the HAS alone could not establish the org.

It has been found that the whole reason for any lack of prosperity of an org is INTERNAL. The surrounding area of the public has very little to do with whether stats are up or down. An org, by "delivering" Out Tech and its own conduct upsets its area but it can also straighten it out PROVIDING IT DOES ITS JOB. So this too is an Internal cause. | It has been found that the whole reason for any lack of prosperity of an org is INTERNAL.

In the Product-Org Officer System of 1971 it was found uniformly that as soon as the org began to boom, the HAS was wholly unable to establish rapidly enough and the boom collapsed.
