SIMPO-I ENTITY MODEL FOR DETERMINING THE QUALITATIVE IMPACT OF PERSONNEL POLICIES
Abstract
The entity simulation model described in this publication is an initial product of the operations research efforts conducted by the Statistical Research and Analysis Division, BESRL under SIMPO-I Task. The model was designed for integration into the more generalized SIMPO-I simulation package for evaluation of personnel and manpower policy alternatives across the Army's major personnel functions. The entity model concentrates on the procurement, selection, and allocation aspects of the personnel system. The SIMPO-I, when completed, will consist of a relatively comprehensive computerized model of the Army personnel subsystem--incorporating a simulation model and a library of computer programs. Other modules to be developed, have appropriate interfaces with the entity module, will be concerned with such personnel functions as distribution, tour rotation, promotion, and training. Representative applications of an entity model in a simulated system are discussed. A detailed description of the general simulation program is given together with a manual for use of the program in the Appendix to the report.
