Measuring Work and Related Activities,

Abstract

The Chief of the Defence Force commissioned Infuse Pty Ltd to develop the ADF Activities Survey (Activities Survey) in 1991. The objective was to accurately and objectively measure working hours and a number of other factors affecting work within the ADF. The first application of the Activities Survey was carried out from 26 February 1992 to 26 March 1993. Approximately 60 personnel were surveyed each day for this period. The initial report was published in June 1993. From April 1994 the Activities Survey has continued in a reduced form with approximately 30 personnel surveyed each day in what is known as "the Trickle Study". The objectives of the Activities Survey include providing: * quantitative data to support future decisions about defence structures, pay, working conditions and other planning issues; * general management information about work; * identification of activities and workplaces which may require further study; and benchmark measures for work in the Australian Defence Force.
