Attachment A: Procedure for Measuring Work Force Productivity by Work Sampling

This study utilized the following procedure.

1. The Job Planning Coordinator (JPC) and the appropriate managers or supervisors select the work force personnel and time period to be studied. In addition, work type categories are reviewed.

2. The JPC assigns each person in the study a one- to three-digit, unique number for the purposes of tracking. (The JPC attempts to utilize the same number for persons included in previous studies.) The JPC provides a number for personnel to affix to their hard-hats. ( Note: The practice of affixing numbers to hard-hats was discontinued for subsequent studies as some persons considered it demeaning.) The JPC records each person s name, number, and craft with current skill level into Table H.53.
