Manpower planning models. IV, Synthesis of cross-sectional and longitudinal models

This report is the fourth in a series on Manpower Planning Models. Its main purpose is to compare the cross-sectional and longitudinal models described in the second and third reports, point out their similarities and differences, and present a theoretical comparison of the two types of models.Navy Personnel R&D Center, San Diego, CAhttp://archive.org/details/manpowerplanning5111grinN6822176WR60008N

Manpower planning models - V : optimization models

This is the fifth in a series of reports on Manpower Planning Models. The emphasis in this report is on optimization in both short and long term planning. Models discussed in earlier reports form the basis of the optimization models. A detailed illustrative example is included to demonstrate how the models may be applied to policy determination for a university faculty.

Manpower planning models. II, Cross sectional models

This is the second in a series of reports on manpower planning models. The emphasis in this report is on the formulation, theory, and application of cross-sectional models. Included are sections showing applications to planning and forecasting university faculty movement, a university retirement system, and forecasting student enrollmentssupported in part by the Office of Naval Research and the Manpower Planning Division (MPI20) of the Marine Corpshttp://archive.org/details/manpowerplanning5021grinN

Manpower Planning Models - III. Longitudinal Models

This is the third in a series of reports on manpower planning models. The emphasis in this report is on the formulation, theory, and application of longitudinal models. The concepts of chain flows are introduced and exploited in a number of applications.This work was supported in part by the Office of Naval Research and the Manpower Planning Division (MP120) of the Marine CorpsApproved for public release; distribution is unlimited

Manpower planning models - I : basic concepts

This report is the first in a series which present methods used in analyzing manpower planning problems. The concepts of stocks, flows, manpower classification and timing convention are introduced, together with basic flow conservation concepts and equilibrium analysis.supported in part by the Office of Naval Research and the Manpower Planning Division (MPI20) of the Marine Corpshttp://archive.org/details/manpowerplanning4122grinN

A steady state longitudinal manpower planning model with several classes by manpower

In the Navy's officer system there are several classes of manpower (e.g. pilots and submariners) that perform specialized jobs and also can perform several types of non-specialized jobs (e.g. military training, personnel management, etc.). This report is concerned with the general problem of allocating the different types of jobs among the several classes of manpower. The report describes a model that constructs a personnel inventory by rank for each of several manpower classes (pilots, etc.) and then allocates those people to the specialized and common jobs that they are allowed to do. The idea of the model is to allow a policy maker to quickly reconcile billet requirements with the reality of available accessions, job sharing targets between classes, and continuation rates of the different manpower classes. Different allocations can be produced either by assuming the values of a few key variables, or they can be generated using an optimization scheme that sets 'allowable' percentage errors. Four optimization variants based on this idea are described. The report contains some typical data, the results of calculations, and a description of computer programs used to solve the problemhttp://archive.org/details/steadystatelongi00grinfunded under Contract No. N62271-79-M-1981 in support of the Manpower Research Program of the Naval Postgraduate Schoo
