scope:

This publication applies to all military services and defense agencies. The data contained herein will be used to the maximum extent practicable in the development of labor performance standards in compliance with DOD Directive 5010.15.

PURPOSE. This volume of Structural Work Occupations Standard Time Data is one of ten volumes (standard time data in the 11 volume series included in DWMSTDP. Structural Work Occupations as categorized by the Department of Labor includes those occupations concerned with fabricating, erecting, installing, paving, painting, repairing, and similarly working structures or structural parts, such as bridges, buildings, roads, motor vehicles, cables, airplane engines, girders, plates, and frames. The work generally occurs outside a factory or shop environment, except for factory production line occupations. Tools used are hand or portable power tools, and such materials as wood, metal, concrete, glass, and clay are involved. This volume provides a single DoD source for Standard Time Data which can be used in the development of labor standards for:

Organizations, activities, or functional areas whose primary missions correlate to structural work occupations, e.g., sheet metal work, welding, electrical assembling and installing, painting, cementing and carpentry.

For structural work operations within organizations, activities, or functional areas engaged in other than structural work occupations, e.g., a carpenter constructing a wood frame (aircraft cribbing) in a maintenance activity.

Work performed by personnel whose primary jobs are other than structural, but who may actually do that type work as a part of their jobs, e.g., an aircraft mechanic fabricating and installing aircraft cribbing in a maintenance activity.
