w Attachment EXHIBIT E ANALYSIS OF FACTORS AFFECTING PRODUCTIVITY A.
Factors Causing a Change in Productivity 1..
Travel Vouchers Processed - The productivity increase can be attributed to both people and process factors.
In the area of people factors our employees are more experienced and now possess a higher skill level.
With respect to voucher processing, NRC procedures were modified in January 1976 to include the use of statistical sampling in voucher review.
The combination of the two accounts for the increase.
2.~
Commercial Invoices Processed - The productivity increase here is the result of a pcople factor only.
Our examiners are more experienced and now possess a higher level of skill.
This is viewed as the principle cause for the increased productivity in the Commercial Invoice area..
B.
Productivity Outlook 1.
Accounting and Finance - A minimal increase in productivity is anticipated in FY 1978 as a result of a continued increase in skills of the personnel in the Division.
The productivity trend over the next few years is expected to be up.
The anticipated increase in productivity is based primarily on the addition of a new computerized Integrated Financial Management System which will be implemented in FY 1979.
2.
Division of Contracts - The productivity in FY 1978 is anticipated to increase by at least 10%.
Productivity has been increased in Contracts (15-20% a year) over the last two years and is expected to continue increasing but at a decreasing rate in FY 1979 and 1980. Standardization of procedures for processing specific actions as well as the establishment of an automated Contracts Information System should aid in maintaining a continued productivity improvement over the next few years.
3.
Division of Security - Productivity for the division in FY 1978 is anticipated to reflect a small increase.
This increase in productivity has been tempered by an expansion program in Security l
which will necessitate the hiring of nes personnel.
This hiring activity and subsequent training program required is expected to last about two years.
i In spite of this expansion, attempts will be made to increase productivity by providing an organization structure which allows more specialization of the workforce and.
I, will provide more positive supervision of the employees.
Based on the above, a small annual increase in productivity is possible.

l EXHIBIT F Verification of Data T.t computer printouts dated April 13, 1978 for the Division of Accounting, Division of Contracts, and the Division of Security have been compared to the original data submission.
There were no errors in the case of the Divisionsof Accounting and Contracts.
However, in the case of Security two errors were noted.
