Welcome to the new COTI server. We've moved the Citizens to a new server. Please let us know in the COTI Website issue forum if you find any problems.
We, the systems administration staff, apologize for this unexpected outage of the boards. We have resolved the root cause of the problem and there should be no further disruptions.
Is there a standard value in Traveller for the volume of consumables per crew member per week? I'm working on scout cruiser design in TNE FF&S and I am trying to figure out how much cargo I need per crew member per week so I can calculate endurance.
There might have been some mention in a CT adventure, I don't recall where or what though.
You could figure it out from the listed ration sizes, that's how I first did it.
T20 came up with 1ton of life support stores being 20 person months. That includes air recycling, food, water, waste recycling, and (non-food) consumable supplies.

Man-Days per DTon and given in Best of JTAS 1, p30: 2000 Person-Days per DTon, KCr50 per DTon. that's 6.75L per man-day; lists as "Food and consumables."
FF&S2 also has stats; I don't have mine accessible.
FF&S2 is backwards compatible with TNE's FF&S1, but added a lot of additional stuff, too. (as well as being poorly formatted, mangled due to non-standard encodings, and having general layout issues, as well.)
