Cost Analysis of Air Force On-the-Job Training: Development and Demonstration of a Methodology

The Air Force on-the-job training (OJT) cost estimating methodology documented in this report is applicable to formal airman upgrade training to the 3, 5, and 7 skill levels. The methodology can be used to provide reasonable cost estimates for budgeting and planning purposes at various command levels and for various time intervals. Design of the methodology has emphasized use of existing data bases to derive direct OJT costs. Cost elements which have been quantified include program overhead costs at all command levels, personnel time cost for actual training and supervision, and program support costs such as for career development courses and the Extension Course Institute. Recommendations have been made concerning equipment and opportunity costs. The methodology employs additive cost factors which are sensitive to OJT cost variation among career fields and among organizations at each command level. Periodic factor reestimation will insure cost factor currency allowing OJT cost forecasts driven by forecasted OJT trainee-month volumes. (Author).

  • "A research project was developed to construct and demonstrate a methodology for estimating the costs of conducting on-the-job training (ojt) in the Air Force. The project focused on the formal upgrade training to the three, five, and seven skill levels. Project efforts involved five major tasks: literature review, cost factor identification, cost factor quantification, specification of costing methodology, and demonstration costings. A series of cost estimating relationships were produced that will employ existing Air Force data systems to generate the desired ojt program costs at various command levels and over a range of user specified time intervals. The methodology, based on factor estimation, provides reasonable cost estimates for budgeting and planning purposes, without burdening the user with costly and time-consuming data collection requirements.
