1975-TRAINING
It is anticipated that 37 new examiners will be trained in fiscal year 1975. Twenty-seven
will enter on duty July 1, 1974, and 10 on June 1, 1975. Experience has indicated
two factors which affect computation of costs in addition to classroom and on-the-job
training previously mentioned. Trainee productivity level after the first 6 months
of classroom training time is 50 percent compared to the journeyman examiner level
and is up to 75 percent of journeyman examiner level after the second 6 months of
classroom training time. These factors are included in the computation of training
costs.
July group: |
27 ×520 hours formal classroom training = 14,040 hours. 14,040 hours ÷1,750 = +8.02 work-years. 1 instructor ×520 ÷1,750 = +.29 work-years 27 ×1,040 hours (1st 6 months after classroom training or October-March) = 28,080
hours 28,080 hours ×.50 (only one-half as productive as journeyman examiner) = 14,040 hours 14,040 ÷ 1,750 = 8.02 work-years 27 ×520 hours (balance of the fiscal year 1975 or April-June) = 14,040 hours 14,040 hours ×.25 (75% as productive as the journeyman examiner) = 3,510 hours 3,510 hours ÷1,750 = +2.00 work-years
|
June group: |
.10 ×160 hours (4 weeks of June 1975) = 1,600 hours 1,600 hours ÷1,750 = +.91 work-years 1 instructor ×160 ÷1,750 = +.09 work-years

These classes of examiners will still be in training in 1976 and 1977 so listed below
are their training costs projected into those years.

July FY 1975 group: |
27 ×520 hours (July-September FY 1976) = 14,040 hours 14,040 hours ×.25 (75% as productive on the journeyman level) = 3,510 hours 3,510 hours ÷1,750 = +2.00 work-years
|
June FY 1975 group: |
10 ×360 (classroom time carried over from FY 1975-first 9 weeks in FY 1976) = 3,600
hours 3,600 hours ÷ 1,750 = +2.05 work-years 1 ×360 ÷1,750 = +.20 work-years (instructor time)
|
(We are assuming that July 1975, has 5 weeks and August 1975 had 4 weeks.)
10 ×1,040 hours (first 6 months after classroom training or September-February FY
1976) = 10,400
10,400 ×.50 (only one-half as productive as journeyman examiner) = 5,200 hours
5,200 hours ÷1,750 = +2.97 work-years
10 ×720 hours (balance of FY 1976 or March-June assuming a total of 18 weeks at 40
hours per week = 7,200 hours
7,200 hours ×.25 (75% as productive as the journeyman level) = 1,800 hours
1,800 hours ÷1,750 = +1.02 work-years

FY 1977 TRAINING-EXAMINERS
10 ×320 hours (first 8 weeks of fiscal year 1977 representing June fiscal year 1975
group-balance of second 6 months after classroom training) = 3,200 hours
3,200 hours ×.25 (75% as productive as the journeyman level) = 800 hours
800 hours ÷1,750 = +.45 work-years
NOTE: The method of indexing indirect time changes will only be used when major changes
in workload volume result from one year to the next. Generally, these computations
will not be required of most agencies and a close control and analysis of indirect
time usage during each fiscal year will enable a valid computation of projected increases
or decreases from year to year.
The “adjustment” process involves three variables-total training time, the percent change in disposition
from fiscal year to fiscal year, and the training time adjustment. The adjustment
process is as follows:
First: |
Determine the total training time based on the above calculations. |
Second: |
Determine the percentage change in disposition from year to year and then add or subtract
the change to or from 1.00.
|
Third: |
Multiply the prior fiscal year training time total times the current fiscal year percentage
change in dispositions.
|
Thus, using the figures given in the workpower analysis table illustration we would
have the following:

yield the fiscal year training time posted in the workpower analysis table. (Exhibit
