In the episode 'Good Shepherd' Seven of Nine does an 'efficiency analysis' on the crew of Voyager, much to their annoyance. Much to our annoyance the analysis fails to cover things that are REALLY wrong with Voyager and instead focuses on irrelevant gripes like inefficient use of personnel and phaser rifles not being stacked according to size.
Let's come up with our own Efficiency Analysis of the crew of Voyager.
Engineering – Inefficient. Subject to frequent warp core breaches. After seven years surge suppressors still have not been fitted to consoles, leading to fatal explosions during battle.
Tactical – Hopeless. Requires aiming and firing to be manually entered via the console, causing fatal microsecond delays in a time when alien ships could easily be equipped with automated combat systems.
Security – Again hopeless. Alien infiltrators, deserting crewmembers, escaping prisoners, sabotage, mass mind control happen at weekly intervals. Recommend Tuvok be investigated to see if he is actually the terrorist infiltrator confronted by Captain Picard in 'Starship Mine'.
Medical – Recommend recruitment and training of assistant nurses and an Emergency Paramedic Team, instead of a reluctant pilot/medic who would be busy during a crisis anyway.
Astrometrics – Failure to utilize expertise. Although two luscious twin stellar cartographers have been on board for seven years, their only appearance has been as villains in Captain Proton holonovels.
Seven of Nine: Her skintight catsuit distracts male crewmembers from their tasks and is a waste of resources, requiring excessive amounts of talcum powder to squeeze into. Her high heels are unsuitable for crossing rough terrain on away missions.
Doctor: Memory allocation would double if ego subroutine was deleted.
Chakotay: Facial use is highly efficient, with two expressions used for all possible occasions.
Harry Kim: Shows failure to mature as an officer – recommend demotion to anonymous extra.
Tal Celes: Hopeless - recommend transfer to Security for use as a towed phaser target.
