Evaluation of Methodology for Estimating the Cost of Air Force On-the-Job Training.
Abstract
The report describes the final phase of a study directed at the development of an on-the-job training (OJT) costing methodology. Utilizing a modification of survey techniques tested and evaluated during the previous phase, estimates were obtained for the cost of OJT for airman training from the 1-level (unskilled) to the 3-level (semi-skilled) in five category B Air Force specialties. The specialties studied were pavement maintenance (551X0); fire protection (571X0); food service (622X0); fuel service (631X0); and material facilities (647X0). The cost per graduate of OJT for these specialties was compared to the cost per graduate of resident school technical training. Supervisors were surveyed to determine if there was a difference in performance between OJT and technical school graduates in these AFSCs. Conditional cost models were also formulated and tested. The conditional cost models are based on an alternative or opportunity cost concept and represent a refinement of the original cost models.
