Evaluating Manpower and Manning Measurement in CE: Do Current Practices Reflect Actual Capability

Abstract

This study evaluated two methods of measuring peacetime capability for the 44XX Civil Engineering Macro Air Force Manpower Standard. The current method measures capability by comparing the quantities of assigned manning and authorized manpower. The alternative method developed by the study measures capability by comparing required manpower, authorized manpower, and assigned manning capabilities, and considers the combined qualitative and quantitative manpower factors of experience (grade), technical ability (AFSC), and quantity. Combined results showed small net differences (2-6 percent) between quantity and capability for authorized/required, assigned/authorized, and assigned/required levels. Individual bases varied more (as much as thirteen, twenty six, and ten percent respectively. Manpower and manning capability measures are impacted when quantity and quality factors are aggregated. Keywords: Theses, Manpower utilization, Civil engineering, Management planning and control.
