The Army's personnel decision support system

摘要

The Army's enlisted personnel decision support system combines a variety of modeling techniques, such as goal programming, network models, linear programming, and Markov-type inventory projection, with a management information system to support analysis of personnel planning issues. Using a hierarchy of models, personnel planning decisions are coordinated from the macroscopic, public policy level to the very detailed, unit and military occupational specialty level. This decision support system employs models that combine the full range of modeling methodologies with mechanisms to assure integration between organizational levels.
