Using formulae from Commandant Instruction M5312.11A, Coast Guard Staffing Standards
Manual, it has been established that each billeted container inspector has approximately 27.54
total productive hours for their primary assignment per week, or 1432 hours per year. This
calculation accounts for leave, medical, admin, training (both resident and OJT), and other
demands on time. Analysis of activity levels, including targeting, travel time, physical
inspection, documentation, and case writing, established that an inspection takes approximately
2 hours per container. Simple arithmetic sets performance goals at approximately 14 containers
per week, or 716 per year per billet. If the above practices are instituted, this goal can be easily
obtained.
