Inventory Management, Materiel Facilities, and Supply Systems Career Ladders, AFSCs 645X0, 645X0A, 645X1 and 645X2.

摘要

Inventory booklets were administered to Supply career field incumbents during the period September 1977 through January 1978. Survey results are based on responses from 2,880 incumbents or 11 percent of the 26,016 assigned 645XX personnel. Eighteen major jobs were identified within the career field, with a high degree of fragmentation noted within each job group. Ten of the jobs were being performed primarily by 645X0 personnel, including such jobs as demand processing, item research, allowance and authorization, document control, stock control, materiel control, and PCAM operators. Only one job was performed primarily by 645X1 personnel, that of inspectors. Four jobs were being performed by a mixture of both 645X0 and 645X1 personnel. These jobs included inventory, receiving, storage and issue, and pick up and delivery functions. A separate job group was noted for supply systems computer respondents, primarily 645X2 personnel. There are clear differences in tasks performed by 5- and 7-skill level DAFSC personnel. Tasks primarily performed by 5-skill level respondents are those relating to supply or technical activities. The 7-skill level respondents continue to perform supply and technical activities but also perform many supervisory and managerial tasks. Nine-skill level respondents primarily perform only supervisory and managerial tasks.
