Computer-Assisted Detailing for U.S. Naval Officers

Abstract

The author, a former Naval officer detailer, explains and discusses officer assignment and distribution practices in the Bureau of Naval Personnel including computer support to the current manual officer assignment/distribution system. He reviews recent literature relating to computer-assisted assignment of personnel within the interpretive framework of approaches used. He next discusses the computer-assisted detailing system proposed for implementation in the Officer Development and Distribution Division of the Bureau of Naval Personnel under the Future Manpower and Personnel Information System (Future MAPMIS) project. In a concluding chapter, approaches to the use of computers in the assignment of Naval officers, particularly in the Future MAPMIS project, are analyzed. The author concludes that the approach to computer-assisted assignment taken by Future MAPMIS is appropriate, but offers suggestions and recommendations for the actual implementation of the project in the area of officer assignments.
