Joint Test Force Simulation.
Abstract
This study presents the background, development, and use of generalized event-oriented simulation model of work activities. The particular question addressed in this research effort was: Can an event-oriented simulation model be developed which will be useful in estimating work completion dates and personnel requirements using the information presented in a work directive. The program is written in SIMSCRIPT II.5 and is adaptable to a particular joint test force by using free-format data inputs. Any test force which is responsible for the performance of activities may be studied using this model. Any number of activities, missions, test phases, workers, and levels of workers may be defined through the input data. Detailed input instructions are provided to tailor the model to the analyst's requirements. Numerous options are available to include: worker skill factors, mission reduction or cancellation probabilities, activity performance capability with reduced personnel, reports, parametric studies, and replications of the entire data package. The function of each routine and event is discussed and a complete program listing is appended. A sample study is provided to illustrate many of the significant features. (Author)
