Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The job evaluation system used by the Air Force was applied to a sample of positions. Judged by pay-grade conversions, evaluation scores obtained were somewhat inflated, but the evaluations discriminated between higher and lower skilled jobs. A simple average of individual ratings closely approximates the consensus ratings arrived at during two-man conferences held by the judges. This finding eliminates the reason for limiting the number of judges to the small number who can attend such meetings. By means of regression analysis it was found that factors dealing with Knowledge, Adaptability and Resourcefulness, and Attention formed one group related factors while the factors measuring Responsibility for Safety of Others, Physical Effort, and Job Conditions were related to each other. Although there was overlap within the two groups each factor had a considerable amount of unique variance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A significant association between the familiarity of the rater with a job and the ratings he assigns to the job was found for 17 of 50 Air Force specialties. Assuming that the most valid ratings are those given by highly familiar raters, it appears that highly technical jobs tend to be under-evaluated by raters who are unfamiliar with the work performed. On the other hand, some jobs ten to be over-evaluated by raters who are unfamiliar with the work performed. These findings point to the necessity for controlling the level of familiarity when job evaluation is conducted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educational requirements for airman specialties are given in Air Force Manual 35-1. This study examines the role of some of these gross indicators of academic achievement in predicting technical school grades. Attention was restricted to the educational information shown on testing and assignment record cards completed for a sample of airmen in 13 Air Force specialties. By linear regression techniques it was found that the joint contribution of this limited amount of information permits the prediction of a large part of the variance in technical school grades. High school graduation was the best single predictor among the educational variables. Completion or noncompletion of particular high-school-level courses, although individually and generally predictive of the criterion measures, consistently did not reach a level of practical significance for any specialty when the effects of other information were controlled. Further validation of educational requirements for Air Force specialties should start with better basic information on academic achievement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the report from the Pentagon's Operational Test and Evaluation (OTE) Director, issued in January 2015 which contains extensive detailed information about over 100 major weapons systems under development by the Department of Defense, Army, Navy, and Air Force - including such consequential systems as the F-35 and BMD. Thorough operational testing should be conducted prior to a system's Full-Rate Production decision or deployment to combat in order to inform acquisition decision makers and operators in an objective way about how the system will perform in its combat missions. Under current law, the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E) is required to present his opinion on whether the operational testing conducted prior to the Beyond Low-Rate Initial Production decision is adequate or not. The Director must consider all the operational facets of a system's employment in combat when he determines what constitutes adequate operational testing, including the performance envelope the system must be able to achieve, the various operating conditions anticipated in a time of war, and the range of realistic operational threats.

Download or read book Reliability Growth written by Panel on Reliability Growth Methods for Defense Systems and published by National Academy Press. This book was released on 2015-03-01 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A high percentage of defense systems fail to meet their reliability requirements. This is a serious problem for the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD), as well as the nation. Those systems are not only less likely to successfully carry out their intended missions, but they also could endanger the lives of the operators. Furthermore, reliability failures discovered after deployment can result in costly and strategic delays and the need for expensive redesign, which often limits the tactical situations in which the system can be used. Finally, systems that fail to meet their reliability requirements are much more likely to need additional scheduled and unscheduled maintenance and to need more spare parts and possibly replacement systems, all of which can substantially increase the life-cycle costs of a system. Beginning in 2008, DOD undertook a concerted effort to raise the priority of reliability through greater use of design for reliability techniques, reliability growth testing, and formal reliability growth modeling, by both the contractors and DOD units. To this end, handbooks, guidances, and formal memoranda were revised or newly issued to reduce the frequency of reliability deficiencies for defense systems in operational testing and the effects of those deficiencies. "Reliability Growth" evaluates these recent changes and, more generally, assesses how current DOD principles and practices could be modified to increase the likelihood that defense systems will satisfy their reliability requirements. This report examines changes to the reliability requirements for proposed systems; defines modern design and testing for reliability; discusses the contractor's role in reliability testing; and summarizes the current state of formal reliability growth modeling. The recommendations of "Reliability Growth" will improve the reliability of defense systems and protect the health of the valuable personnel who operate them.
