This actually is in the Fleet Book rules on page 8:  "For ships with
multiple DCPs, more than one may be allocated to a single repair job at
one
time; one DCP on its own will manage to bring a system back on-line on a
roll of 6, and each additional DCP on the same job reduces this needed
number by 1.  The maximum limit of DCPs on a single job is THREE, so
that
the highest chance of repairing a system is 50% (4+ on a D6) if three
teams
are allocated to do it.  Note that ALL teams put on one systems in a
single
turn make just the ONE roll."
