The Air Force established the program to scientifically develop and maintain guidelines for allocating military and civilian personnel to various functions within each command. Payroll costs for personnel subject o mnagement under the program were about $9 billion for fiscal year 1971. The program objective since 1967 has been to cover 89 percent of all manpower authorizations with engineered standards. The remaining 11 percent are not considered susceptible to measurement. As of July 1, 1971: --Engineered standards covered only 36 percent of the measurable authorizations. --Estimated standards, which are less precise than engineered standards, had been implemented for 35 percent of the measurable authorizations. --No standards had been implemented for the remaining 29 percent. Air Force data have indicated 25 months, on the average, elapses between the start of manpower standard studies and the implementation of the resulting standards. As a result of the fairly limited coverage by engineered standards and the length of time required to implement engineered standards, we believe the program has not been responsive to the manpower management needs of Air Force Commanders and the guide- lines have not been used to achieve the intended control over the distribution and utilization of manpower. Instead, manpower ceilings and dollar limitations have been applied by the Air Force in determining on-board strengths without full assessment of operational needs. 50TH ANNIVERSARY 1921-1971 - 0, --
