A Theoretical Manpower Optimization Model for the Air Force Installation Contracting Agency (AFICA)

Abstract

This project examined the potential impact of process savings achieved through strategically sourced contracts on the Air Force Installation Contracting Agencys (AFICA) manpower. The project leveraged AFICAs contract man-hour data to make logical inferences concerning the transaction costs of various strategically sourced contracts. The information derived from the transaction cost analysis was used to construct a theoretical linear program (LP) to optimize manpower with respect to man-hour savings achieved through strategically sourced contracts. The optimized manpower solution provides a theoretical framework to identify manpower savings that may be used to address AFICA mission objectives.
