Manpower and Workload Factors that Dominate Navy Individual Training Costs

Abstract

This research memorandum is the final report on a study of the factors that affect the costs of training Navy personnel. It identifies the relationship between students undergoing specialized skill training and the dominant operating costs of conducting that training. The study was done in two phases. The first phase analyzed changes in the amount, duration, and composition of specialized skill training to identify the factors that could be related to changes in costs. The results of this phase of the study are reported in a recent CNA Research Memorandum. The second phase developed disaggregated costs for specialized skill training consistent with the student data developed in the first phase. By relating changes in the student load and the composition of training to the trends in budgets and manpower, it was possible to identify factors that drive training costs and to suggest improved ways of relating the resource input to training output. The results of this second phase are presented in this paper. The basic historical cost data for Navy individual training and some observations on trends in the total costs of training are presented in a previous paper.
