Download or read book Productivity Profiles of First term Enlisted Personnel written by Gus W. Haggstrom and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a study of the relationship between on-the-job experience and productivity ratings of enlisted personnel in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. For each of 48 occupational specialties, productivity profiles are constructed based on supervisors' estimates of trainees' net productivity at several points in their careers. These profiles show how trainees progress on average from their first month on the job through their first four years of service, thereby providing a means for assessing the importance of experience in military occupations.
Download or read book Specialty Training and the Performance of First term Enlisted Personnel written by Robert M. Gay and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Describes some early results of research designed to evaluate the economic efficiency of specialty training for first-term enlisted personnel. To make such an evaluation, one must develop reliable measures of on-the-job performance that (1) reflect net rather than gross productivity, (2) reflect productivity over time, and (3) are based on the performance of specific individuals. Measures that have these properties can be collected by a variety of methods, including direct measurement, job-knowledge tests, and supervisory ratings. The authors provide a preliminary analysis of supervisory rating data assembled to explore tradeoffs among training courses of different lengths. These data consist of enlisted supervisors' estimates of military trainee net productivity at different points in first-term service. The estimates are used to construct profiles of the time path of productivity; a number of profiles are presented. Results suggest that meaningful conclusions can be drawn from data based on carefully constructed supervisory ratings.

Download or read book Finding the Balance Between Schoolhouse and On the job Training written by Thomas Manacapilli and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2007 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Air Force typically trains 30,000 to 40,000 new airmen in some 300 specialties each year. It utilizes two methods for training its enlistees: centralized initial skills training (IST, or "schoolhouse" training) and decentralized on-the-job training (OJT). All too often, only IST costs are considered when "pricing" training, seriously underestimating the overall cost to train an airman. When all the costs are considered, including those of OJT, decisions related to the length of IST can be better informed. To determine the most cost-effective combination of IST and OJT, the authors developed a methodology based on a cost-benefit analysis of seven Air Force specialties. From a statistical analysis of data taken from surveys of senior enlisted personnel, they were able to assess how productivity changes when IST course length changes and to make recommendations concerning the IST course lengths that would produce the most productive airmen for the least possible cost.

Book excerpt: Determination of trade-offs between personnel with different characteristics is vital to attaining a high ratio of personnel productivity to costs. Personnel trade-offs are evaluated using unit performance, individual performance, and survey data as measures of productivity. For each approach, previous work is briefly reviewed, then models for improving productivity measurement are presented. Broad-based proposals are made for advancing personnel productivity measurement in the Navy.

This book was released on 2019-10-25 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. military has been continuously engaged in foreign conflicts for over two decades. The strains that these deployments, the associated increases in operational tempo, and the general challenges of military life affect not only service members but also the people who depend on them and who support them as they support the nation â€" their families. Family members provide support to service members while they serve or when they have difficulties; family problems can interfere with the ability of service members to deploy or remain in theater; and family members are central influences on whether members continue to serve. In addition, rising family diversity and complexity will likely increase the difficulty of creating military policies, programs and practices that adequately support families in the performance of military duties. Strengthening the Military Family Readiness System for a Changing American Society examines the challenges and opportunities facing military families and what is known about effective strategies for supporting and protecting military children and families, as well as lessons to be learned from these experiences. This report offers recommendations regarding what is needed to strengthen the support system for military families.
Download or read book A Critical Look at Military Recruitment and Retention Policies written by William Lisowski and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This paper provides a framework for analyzing military enlistment and reenlistment policies and incentives, looking beyond simple enlistee counts to measures which include the effects of differential retention, productivity, and costs. The methodologies used provide a common basis by which disparate measures--increases in enlistments under a set of incentives, bonus elasticities for reenlistments, etc.--can be compared. The statistical nature of these techniques, which are based on the retention function, recognizes the randomness in the attrition and reenlistment behavior of individual enlistees. The methodology is applicable to other fields, such as teaching and occupations requiring lengthy training and/or apprenticeship, where entry is usually only at the most junior level."--Rand abstracts

Book excerpt: "The Aggregate Lifecycle Effectiveness and Cost (ALEC) model enables managers of Air Force enlisted personnel to compare the cost-effectiveness of alternative management actions for a part of the force selected for analysis. Example actions are limits on the numbers of various types of enlistments, reenlistment bonuses designed to increase the number of persons making the Air Force a career, retraining programs that transfer personnel from one specialty to another, and the early-release program. This volume gives the theory and behavioral relationships used to build the model and gives cost-effectiveness results."--Rand Abstracts

Book excerpt: Looks at the costs and benefits to the Army of varying levels of recruit quality in 1986, which had advanced considerably. In FY 1985, 90% held high school diplomas, up 40% points from the low point of 1980. Scores on aptitude tests showed comparable improvement. But concern has arisen over the Army¿s ability to sustain such success -- let alone recruit even higher quality in coming years -- at an acceptable cost. Contents: (1) Intro. and Background: The Recruiting System; What Is Quality?; (2) Prospects for Recruiting; (3) The Costs of High Quality: The Army¿s Program; (4) The Relationship of Quality to Performance; (5) Alternatives to the Army¿s Program.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evaluates the effect of experience mix on unit size and considers how the Air Force can adapt to the demands imposed on individual work units as the mix changes. Using empirical evidence from one large Air Force occupation, the study develops an estimation technique that expands on available productivity data to infer learning curves for all tasks. Concludes that (1) experienced units can be staffed with fewer people if the work mix in an occupation is reallocated to match the experience mix--manpower requirements thus should vary with experience mix; (2) current guidelines already allow unit managers sufficient flexibility to adjust to changes in staffing levels, so no changes to work allocation guidelines are necessary in the occupation studied; (3) enforcement of training and supervision guidelines diminish flexibility only for work units with extreme experience configurations. To accommodate the increased supervisory workload generated by a less-experienced unit, work unit managers should allocate a larger proportion of supervisory work to personnel serving in jobs other that Senior Supervisor; and (4) relative productivities can be inferred from a limited data collection effort and occupational survey data. The method described in this study should be used to evaluate tradeoffs between experience mix and unit size for other Air Force occupations.
