III UTILIZATION ANALYSIS <br /> <br />A. PURPOSE <br /> <br /> To identify areas of underutilization of sex and race/ethnic <br /> groups upon which goals and timetables can be based. <br /> <br /> An affirmative action plan is a results-oriented program. In <br /> order to seek and achieve good-faith results, a full and <br /> complete analysis of the City's utilization of race/ethnic <br /> and sex groups must be undertaken. As stated in federal <br /> guidelines: <br /> <br /> "The objective of a self analysis is to <br /> determine whether employment practices do, or <br /> tend to, exclude, disadvantage, restrict, or <br /> result in adverse impact or disparate <br /> treatment of previously excluded or restricted <br /> groups or leave uncorrected the effects of <br /> prior discriminations, and if so, to attempt <br /> to determine why." (Section 1608.4 <br /> "Affirmative Action Guidelines," Equal <br /> Employment Opportunity Commission.) <br /> <br />B. STEPS <br /> <br /> The utilization analysis is a comparison by sex and by <br /> race/ethnic group of those persons who are available in <br /> relevant labor areas to their current representation in the <br /> City's work force. Although under no obligation to do so, <br /> the City elected to adopt the utilization analysis <br /> methodology required of federal government contractors by the <br /> Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) <br /> because it is the most detailed, technically accurate, and <br /> useful methodology available. To implement this methodology, <br /> several steps were conducted: <br /> <br /> 1. Create job groups <br /> 2. Identify relevant labor areas <br /> 3. Define local labor areas <br /> 4. Gather availability data and determine final <br /> availability <br /> 5. Identify underutilization <br /> <br />1. Create Job Groups <br /> <br /> Each of the City's job classifications was assigned to a job <br /> group. There are three reasons for creating job groups in an <br /> affirmative action plan: <br /> <br />LHM/kh(kaffirm) <br />9/87 <br /> <br /> <br />
