Priority and Resource Allocation: The Ops program automatically handles most routine scheduling and resource allocation. This leaves the Operations manager free to concentrate on decisions beyond the scope of the artificial intelligence software. The level of these decision requirements can be set using various filter programs and this also varies depending on the current alert status of the ship.

The Ops personal has the ability to choose from a wide range of input operations and selections as mission planners can not anticipate every possible situation that any given ship may run into.

In the event of crisis situations and Reduced Power Mode operations, Ops is responsible for the supervision of power allocation in coordinating with the Engineering department. The Ops officer is also responsible for providing information to the main computer, which then is made available to all departments and personal.

The Ops officer is also responsible for coordinating away team operations as to ensure their safety and the effectiveness on any given away team mission. This may include the following:

Notification of Away Team personal of the assignment and providing said personal with mission objective information.
Coordination with Mission Ops for assignment of comm relay frequencies and preparations to monitor Away Team tricorder telemetry.
Notification for issuance of tricorders, phasers, environmental gear, and other mission-specific-equipment.
Assignment of a transporter room to handle transport operations, along with the assignment of a transporter chief to the mission.
Inform engineering to prepare for power allocation for transporter operations.

Such notifications are handled automatically, however because the preprogrammed functions cannot be expected to anticipate all possible situations, Ops is responsible for monitoring all such coordination activity and for taking additional action if required.
