Elements of Analysis

The fundamental elements of the analysis phase are:

Key facility personnel (line management and subject matter experts)

are involved in the analysis process and concur with the results.

Needs analysis is used to address performance deficiencies and

identify actions necessary to correct them.

Job analysis is conducted to determine the tasks required for job

performance. Tasks are identified, documented, and prioritized

according to organizational goals.

Task statements are written.

Tasks are selected for training.

Task analysis is conducted (if necessary) to determine the knowledge

and skills that are necessary for the job.

The analysis process and results are documented and maintained

current.

Application

2.7.1 Facility Involvement

If the correct people are not used, the results of even the most
