Book Description
This research project produced a multijob/force-level analysis model with supporting software. Incorporated in the Simulation Utility Management System (SUMS) are the abilities to: (a) determine optimal force structures given end strength, continuation rates, and an applicant pool; (b) allocate personnel within a dynamic multijob system; (c) assess the interdependencies among utility estimates in the multijob system; (d) investigate tradeoffs between single job and overall force-level utilities; and (e) perform sensitivity analyses of the effects of changes in enlistment standards and other personnel policies on single and total system utilities. SUMS provides the user with the capability to affect personnel programs such as: enlistment standards, job classification standards, promotion policies, and force-downsizing policies. These policies can be evaluated in terms of single and total system costs, values, and productive capacities.

Simulation Utility Management (SUMS)
Study of Utility Management System Simulation Platform
A Computer Simulation Modeling Approach to Estimating Utility in Several Air Force Specialties

ISBN:
Category : Manpower planning
Languages : en
Pages : 41
Book Description
This research produced a prototype of an interdependent, multiple-job utility assessment system. The simulation utility management system (SUMS) prototype can be used to determine the effects of changes in manpower policy and programs on individual job and total system utility. The model development involved identifying appropriate costs associated with acquisition, training, maintenance, and separation of enlisted personnel and determining a dollar value of services rendered during a potential 30-year service tenure. The prototype includes major personnel programs used by the Air Force to access, train, upgrade, reenlist, and separate enlisted personnel. SUMS maximizes overall system utility through an optimal allocation of accessions, given the expected quality mix of the accession pool. The prototype was tested using data for four Air Force Specialties (AFSs) and determined system utilities resulting from six different personnel management scenarios: force drawdown, increasing minimum aptitude requirements, accession pool reduction, increasing the size of the force drawdown, imposing minimum manning requirements, and determining aptitude cutoff scores.

Youth Vs. Experience in the Enlisted Air Force
Author: Mary Anne Doyle
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Division of labor
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
Evaluates the effect of experience mix on unit size and considers how the Air Force can adapt to the demands imposed on individual work units as the mix changes. Using empirical evidence from one large Air Force occupation, the study develops an estimation technique that expands on available productivity data to infer learning curves for all tasks. Concludes that (1) experienced units can be staffed with fewer people if the work mix in an occupation is reallocated to match the experience mix--manpower requirements thus should vary with experience mix; (2) current guidelines already allow unit managers sufficient flexibility to adjust to changes in staffing levels, so no changes to work allocation guidelines are necessary in the occupation studied; (3) enforcement of training and supervision guidelines diminish flexibility only for work units with extreme experience configurations. To accommodate the increased supervisory workload generated by a less-experienced unit, work unit managers should allocate a larger proportion of supervisory work to personnel serving in jobs other that Senior Supervisor; and (4) relative productivities can be inferred from a limited data collection effort and occupational survey data. The method described in this study should be used to evaluate tradeoffs between experience mix and unit size for other Air Force occupations.
