VACATE: A Model for Personnel Inventory Planning under Changing Management Policy,

Abstract

The VACATE (Variable Continuation Rate) model projects the enlisted personnel inventory expected to result from selected management policies. It accounts for the effects of policy changes estimated from previously developed relationships, on attrition and personnel allocations. The model projects personnel inventories expected to result from management policy aimed at controlling the size and experience mix of the inventory. The effects of policy changes are modeled as changes in flow probabilities into and through an inventory partitioned along dimensions of experience level (length of service) and time until end of obligated service. An example is presented which illustrates several innovative features of the model which lead to an improved planning capability.
