Man-hours available.
Workdays. Twenty-two workdays in a month. Eight hours per day.
Assigned Personnel. One E-7 (supervisor), four E-5's, and five E-4's.
Hours Available. 4 x 22 x 8 = 704
5 x 22 x 8 = 880
1,584
As can be seen in the example the lab falls short 266.5 hours (1,850.5 - 1,584 hours). The figure will actually be
greater when extra duties, passes, leaves and training time are considered. This can be determined on a past
history basis. The solution to the shortage of man-hours can be made by overtime, increased manpower, and/or
having supervisor become a worker in the busy times. Local policy will dictate the solution.
Assign test to technician. Assignment of test lab technicians can be accomplished by:
Informal test memorandum.
Worksheet. DA Form 2077 (Petroleum Products Laboratory Analysis Report) is filled out according to
data on the sample tag.
Out-Processing Test Results. After all test memorandums and worksheets are returned to the senior
laboratory technician, the result of out-processing begins. Worksheets or W/S's are reviewed to identify analysis
results and to record the results and recommended disposition in the "Remarks" section of the W/S by the
laboratory NCOIC. DA Form 2077 is prepared from the W/S and then reviewed by the laboratory NCOIC and
signed by the laboratory NCOIC. DA Form 2077 disposition:
Original for the laboratory official result file (filed in laboratory number sequence).
One copy to the laboratory's higher command.
Two copies to the sample submitting unit.
The sample tag is removed from the testing file and stapled to the W/S and test memorandums. They are filed in
laboratory number sequence in the completed working file.
