Enlisted Rotation Management: Users Guide to the Computerized Equilibrium Flow Model
Abstract
The planned periodic rotation of enlisted personnel between sea and shore assignments is a firmly established practice in the Navy. Managing rotation in an equitable and effective manner, however, continues to pose serious problems that are extremely difficult to resolve. Previously developed computer programs have successfully demonstrated the feasibility of generating quantitative data useful in rotation-related decisions. The computer model described in this report provides a highly flexible management tool that can be controlled by the user through selected data on three parameter cards and an input personnel data deck at any desired level of occupational grouping. Basic output consists of equilibrium tours that would support prescribed tours for each of three selected conditions. A secondary output presents summary tables of population aggregate characteristics to aid in broad policy testing and formal action. A variety of other problems may also be dealt with by manipulation of the input parameters.
