A Handbook for the Bivariate Normal Version of the Cost of Attaining Personnel Requirements (CAPER) Model,

Abstract

Managers of military and civilian personnel systems justifiably demand an estimate of the payoff, in dollars and cents, which may be expected to result from the implementation of a proposed selection program. The Cost of Attaining Personnel Requirements (CAPER) models provide the manager with the information needed to formulate an optimal personnel recruiting-selection strategy. This strategy will minimize the expected total cost of recruiting, selecting, inducting (processing), and training a sufficient number of persons to meet a specified quota of satisfactory personnel. The report provides a detailed explanation of the steps involved in using the CAPER II model with, or without, access to computer facilities. Application of the model equations is illustrated using an example problem. A FORTRAN IV computer program including detailed documentation is presented. (Author)
