Staffing and Scheduling of Quality Assurance Inspections for Commercial Activities Contracts on Army Installations.
Abstract
This report describes the procedures and results of a study done for the Directorate of Facilities Engineering, U.S. Army Support Command, Hawaii (DFE, USASCH), to determine appropriate staffing levels for inspection work to be done by Government personnel on a potential service contract under the Commercial Activities (A-76) program. An on site analysis was made of the expected workload, proposed inspection strategies, and proposed inspection requirements as prepared by the DFE. Staffing requirements for the inspection work force were determined by considering inspector skill category and location, and duration and frequency of inspections. Because inspector productivity varies with geographic location, automated modelling techniques were used to optimize the inspectors' time and calculate the necessary number of inspectors. The analysis led to recommendations for modifications to certain inspection strategies. The procedures and results of this study can be applied to the problem of staffing and scheduling inspections for Commercial Activities contracts at other locations.
