A staffing model was developed for use by the United States Army Criminal Investigation Laboratory Command in determining the number of personnel required to staff the 15 technical divisions of its 3 forensic science laboratories adequately.
Abstract
Regression analysis was used to develop formulas for predicting the number of technical man-hours required to process a predicted evidence work load. Techniques were adopted for estimating the requirements for nontechnical man-hours. A forecasting system was designed to project future work load requirements. The model links these components to predict manpower requirements based upon year-to-year changes in case submissions. 6 tables. (Author abstract)
