Manpower Block 2

Work Identification and Measurement

QuestionAnswer
What are the 3 types of Manpower standards described in Ch.1? Air Force Manpower Standards (AFMS), MAJCOM Standard, and Single Location Standard.
Describe a MAJCOM Standard. A standard that only applies to one major command.
Describe an Air Force Manpower Standard (AFMS). A standard that applies to more than one major command (MAJCOM).
Describe a Single Location Standard. A standard that applies to only one function which exists at a single location.
What are the 4 phases of Manpower Requirements Determination Process? Study Planning, Measurement Design, Data Analysis and Computation, and Implementation.
Describe Study Planning. During study planning, three essential items are produced: Process Oriented Description (POD), Statement of Conditions (SOC), and the Potential Workload Factors (PWLFs). The manpower community helps the functional community build these products.
Describe Measurement Design. In this phase the manpower community is determining the amount of manhours and the workload for the particular function. The primary measurement methods will be operational audit, work sampling, time study or a combination of any of the 3.
Describe Data Analysis and Computation. In this phase the manpower community will determine if there is a strong relationship between the manhours and the workload for the bases that were measured during the measurement design phase. It's accomplished through correlation and regression analysis
Describe Implementation. During this phase each MAJCOM’s Manpower Requirements section will determine for each of their bases that are under study whether they gain or lose authorizations.
What is the purpose of a standard? To determine manpower requirements and to provide our legislative branch in Congress the rationale for why we need more or less funding for authorizations in the USAF to accomplish our mission.
Describe Familiarization and how to conduct Familiarization. Familiarization sets the stage for the success of subsequent steps. Review UMD and Authorizations, Review Mission Directives, Coordinate with AFMA/MAC, Conduct Site Visits, Build Straw-Man POD, and Make Initial Contacts are the steps.
What are the steps of the Seven Step Model described in Ch. 2? Project Definition, Plan, As-Is, Opportunity Research, To-Be, Coordinate/Approve, Implement.
Describe Step 1: Project Definition Two-way communication between AFMA team and functional team. Build MOA- Project deliverables, responsibilities, tentative completion dates
Describe Step 2: Planning Contains signed MOA, AFMA and functional team composition, workshop dates, an explanation of workload measurement technique, timeline/milestones, logistical requirements.
Describe Step 3: As-Is Develops/refines straw-man POD, measures associated AS-IS required workload, identifies/specifies additional initiatives for staffing, and identifies high cost/high value & high cost/low value processes to develop potential savings
Describe Step 4: Opportunity Research Goal is to find more effective and/or efficient ways to do business. Use value/cost analysis to eliminate redundancy, work not directed and assumed work for high cost items. DOCUMENT findings and recommendations
Describe Step 5: To-Be Build To-Be POD and apply those initiatives to the old POD processes.
Describe Step 6: Coordinate/Approve Interested parties- functional community, manpower community and Air Force Corporate Structure. Draft final reports.
Describe Step 7: Implement AFMA conducts final price-out, provides the results to AF/A1M, finalizes the Final Report, and Publishes Determinant
Name 4 Work Measurement Methods described in Ch 5. Operational Audit, Time Study, Work Sampling, Minimum Manpower
Operational Audit Most effective method we use for obtaining per accomplishment time and activity frequencies. Employs 4 major measuring techniques- Historical Records, Technical Estimate, Good Operator Timing and Directed Requirements.
Time Study Records the time a worker takes to do each element of an operation. Used primarily to measure operations that are repetitive, of short duration, and done at one work station. Mainly used improve existing methods.
Work Sampling Most effective when work centers have non-repetitive/irregular work, many processes, and small area. Difficult for creative thinking or closed-session counseling. Each technician should measure at least 5 workers to maintain economic feasibility.
Minimum Manpower The minimum amount of manpower required to perform the work when it occurs. Needed when occurs infrequently, i.e. firefighters.
