Overview
In order to effectively budget and track Civilian Personnel (CIVPERS), it is imperative that decision-makers have access to both costing and Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) data
Factors that limit the compilation of CIVPERS FTEs:• Multiple systems capturing varying levels of data
• Several crosswalks required
• Data gaps within systems
• Large datasets generated on a biweekly basis
• Manual process is susceptible to error
To address these issues, the M83 Budget Division has been working with multiple stakeholders to develop an automated tool that would capture and streamline the processes used to calculate FTEs. This effort will significantly enhance FTE transparency across Navy

What is a Full-Time Equivalent?
• Full-Time Equivalents (FTE) – The total number of regular straight‐time hours (i.e., not including overtime or holiday hours)
worked by employees divided by the number of compensable hours applicable to each fiscal year. Based on the number of days in a fiscal year (i.e. 260-262 days), hours per FTE may range from 2,080 to 2,096
• End Strength (ES) – End strength is the actual or estimated number of employees on board at any point in time. For budget exhibit purposes the date is 30 September ‐ the last day of the fiscal year
(2,080 + 2,080 + 2,080 + 2,080 + 1,040 + 1,040) / 2,080 = 5 FTE
1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 6 ES
Straight Time Hours FY12 Compensable Hours
= FTEs
Straight time hours can be derived by grouping WYPC line numbers 201, 205, 209, 213 and 217
Compensable hours for FY12 are 2,080 (260 work days x 8 hours per day = 2,080 compensable hours)
Full-Time Equivalents vs. End Strength
How do you calculate FTEs?

Where does the CIVPERS data come from?
SLDCADA DCPDS DCPS SMART WYPCSLDCADA is a web-based timekeeping system that allows for centralized or distributed input, provides the capability to track civilian labor hours against appropriate job order numbers for financial purposes, and hours according to type hour codes for pay purposes. SLDCADA also allows authorized users (labor managers and employees) the capability to view time sheets and certify time and attendance electronically.
The Defense Civilian Personnel Data Systems (DCPDS) is the DoD human resources information system designed to support civilian personnel operations. The Oracle Federal Human Resources application is the major module in the system, replacing numerous personnel systems used across DoD. The system was designed to capitalize on new technology to improve and simplify the processing of personnel actions.
The Defense Civilian Pay System (DCPS) is the standard Department of Defense civilian pay system. The system maintains pay and leave entitlement records, deductions and withholdings, time and attendance data and other pertinent employee personnel data. Through the use of DCPS, DFAS is standardizing civilian payroll policies, processes, systems and procedures throughout the Department.
The Summarized Management Analysis Resource Tool (SMART) is a cost tracking and analytical web-enabled application used to monitor the cost and expense across Navy Medicine. It provides numerous analytical features allowing users to manipulate the data and create reports, charts, or other useful information.
The Work Year Personnel System (WYPC) controlled by the Defense Finance and Accounting System (DFAS) is the official source for civilian personnel work year and execution data within the Department of the Navy. WYPC is a financial management system used to create monthly civilian personnel labor cost/FTE reports that track current year funds.

SMART Overview
• SMART is a cost tracking and analytical web-enabled tool that allows you to: Monitor the cost and expense across Navy Medicine Manipulate the data with a variety of analytical tools to create reports, charts or other useful information
Purpose of SMART
• Consolidates legacy applications into one single, easy-to-use interface• Multidimensional modeling• Eliminates labor intensive report creation• Enhances data transparency• Facilitates reporting
Tracking / Monitoring / Reconciliation Dashboard
• Powerful ad hoc analysis• Web-based application – no software to maintain on your PC• Allows overall enterprise to access data

Our Approach

Our Approach
• In order to effectively budget and track Civilian Personnel, it is imperative that decision-makers have access to FTE data
• Existing processes and tools for compiling FTE data were inefficient for the task at-hand
Situation & Complication
Actions Taken
End-Product
• Initial due diligence pointed towards developing an automated solution• Developed working group which consisted of functional/technical SMEs• Established user requirements• Created processes for extracting, transforming and loading data from the biweekly 3951B reports• Functional and technical SMEs worked together to model data• Testing
• Use SMART as a tool for automating the process Biweekly data extractions Data cross-walking
• Data access across Navy Medicine• Multidimensional modeling that can be used for analysis and reporting• Facilitate decision-making

Demonstration

Limitations
• This is still a work-in-progress• Dollars and FTEs are pulled from two different data sets• SMART does not capture FTEs for FNDH and FNIH• Current structure is not capturing FTE data for RDTE

Getting Started
The M83 CIVPERS team has created several SMART queries that can be shared with other users• CIVPERS-M83 Query 1
