Occupational Analysis: A Continuous Improvement Approach,

Abstract

Faced with shrinking resources and a dynamic international environment, today's Air Force continues to undergo fundamental structural changes. The Air Force must find innovative ways to improve the way we do business; that is better, faster, and cheaper. The Air Force recognizes the need to improve and wisely adapt to meet the changing operational demands. In doing so, the Air Force has implemented "Quality Air Force (QAF)" (AF Handbook 90-502). QAF is a leadership commitment that inspires trust, teamwork, and continuous improvement everywhere in the Air Force. As Air Force managers are continually challenged with making critical decisions that affect training, retention, and promotion of personnel, unbiased and quantifiable information must be made available to them at a moment's notice. The significance of this QAF exploration is critical for businesses and organizations that wish to survive in a competitive world. In order to succeed, it is important for managers and leaders to gather tools and experiences from others to create a benchmark for future improvement opportunities. With this in mind, the Occupational Analysis (OA) Program, of the Air Force Occupational Measurement Squadron (AFOMS) at Randolph AFB TX, has stepped up to Air Force leaderships' encouragement that internal organizations streamline business through their own Quality initiative.
