Air Force Manpower Requirements Determination: An Analysis of Worker Nonavailability

Abstract

The purpose of the thesis was to assess the use of constant nonavailable time estimates in the determination of Air Force manpower standards. Analysis of data from several sources revealed significant differences in the amount of time personnel in the various pay grades (military and civilian) were available for primary duty. The effect upon manpower standards caused by the use of erroneous availability estimates is simulated through the application of various estimates to a work center. The authors recommend the incorporation of availability estimates in work sampling studies.
