Abstract
The present study, which covers practical investigations into the nature of the Tandem-compound-type office activities and capabilities of clerical workers, is intended 1) to present a basic theory for determining the required manpower from expectations of the input-time and output-time intervals of movements of clerical units (i.e., forms and reports) to and from the office, and 2) to present a new method for determining adequate requirements for clerical manpower, a method characterized by a combination of the deterministic and probability methods.
