This volume of Processing Occupations Standard Time Data is one of ten volumes of standard time data in the 11 volume series included in DWMSTDP. Processing Occupations as categorized by the Department of Labor includes those occupations concerned with refining, mixing, compounding, chemically treating, heat treating. or similarly working materials and products. Knowledge of a process and adherence to formulae other specifications are required in some degree. Vats, stills, ovens, furnaces, mixing machines, crushers, grinders, and related equipment or machines are usually 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 processing occupations, e.g., an activity whose primary responsibility is plating chemical cleaning, sandblasting, etc. For processing operations within organizations, activities, or functional areas engaged in other than processing occupations, e.g., a degreaser operator assigned to an instrument repair shop. Work performed by personnel whose primary jobs are other than processing, but who may actually do that type work as a part of their jobs, e.g., a packer performing a degreasing operation within a supply activity.

This volume of Miscellaneous Occupations Standard Time Data is one of ten volumes of standard time data in the 11 volume series included in DWMSTDP. Miscellaneous Occupations as categorized by the Department of Labor includes those occupations concerned with transportation services (surface, water and air); materials handling, packaging and warehousing; utilities; amusement, recreation and motion picture services; mining and logging; graphic arts; and various other activities. This volume provides a single DoD source for Standard Time Data elements which can be used in the development of labor standards for: 1.1.1 Organizations, activities or functional areas whose primary mission correlates to miscellaneous occupations, e.g., surface, water and air transport and terminal operations; packaging or packing; materials handling, warehousing. 1.1.2 Miscellaneous type operations which are accomplished in organizations, activities or functional areas with primary missions not correlated to Miscellaneous Occupations, e.g., packagers or material handlers assigned to maintenance or machine shops. 1.1.3 Elements of work performed by personnel whose primary job is other than Miscellaneous but who may actually do that type work as part of their job, e.g., a machinist attaching and operating a hoist to a part being machined, (materials handling), a mechanic unpacking a part to be installed, (packaging), or a construction worker handling materials, (materials handling).

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. 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 Instruction 5010.34.

The purpose of this manual is to standardize instructions, methods, terminology and standard time data applicable to work measurement and the development of labor performance standards. The use of this manual is intended to: a. Maximize the productivity of industrial/management engineering personnel by providing a more rapid means of establishing labor performance standards and eliminating duplication in labor performance standards development. b. Foster the increased use of engineered performance standards by making available standard time data of stated accuracy and reliability structured for maximum ease of application. c. Promote appropriate application of more efficient methods of performing work. d. Provide uniformity in labor performance standards development by standardizing the application of various work measurement techniques. e. Facilitate communication by providing common terminology and definitions.
