scope:

This publication applies to all military services and defense agencies. The data contained herein will be used to the maximum extent possible in the development of labor performance standards in compliance with DoD Directive 5010.31 and DoD Instructions 5010.34.

PURPOSE. This volume of Clerical and Sales Occupations standard time data is one of several volumes included in the Defense Work Measurement Standard Time Data Program (DWMSTDP). It provides a single DoD source of clerical standard time data to be used in the economical development of labor standards for:

Organizations, functions, or activities whose primary mission is clerical in nature, e.g., Finance, Data Processing, and Personnel Administration.

Clerical jobs which are a part of organizations, functions, or activities whose primary mission is not clerical in nature, e.g., clerks, typists, and keypunch operators.

Elements of work performed by personnel whose primary job is other than clerical but who do clerical work as a part of their job, e.g., filing of shop orders, filling out forms, sorting documents, and telephoning.
