The Assignment of Airmen by Solving the Transportation Problem.
Abstract
To help the Air Force managers understand some of the many optimization techniques in assigning enlisted personnel to jobs; two techniques, one which directly optimizes payoff values and one which indirectly optimizes payoff values, are discussed. In discussing these optimization techniques, the policy of fill and the policy of fit are discussed since they are an important part of both techniques. The techniques for solving the transportation problem will give the Air Force manager some insight into at least two assignment policies and two optimization techniques and will pose questions which must be considered in trying to optimize assignment of Basic Military Training graduates to their Air Force Specialty Codes.
