MODIA: Volume 4. The Resource Utilization Model.

Abstract

This report provides a comprehensive introduction to MODIA (Method of Designing Instructional Alternatives), a system for planning a training course that was developed to help the Air Force improve the management of training resources. MODIA is designed primarily for the use of the five technical training centers of the Air Training Command (ATC). MODIA is a systematic process for planning the mix of students, instructors, materials, equipment, and facilities and the procedures by which all of these elements work together to effect student mastery of the subject matter. MODIA helps planners to create a detailed description of course operation and to derive an estimate of course cost consistent with the description. This encourages planners to devise and compare alternative plans for training courses. The Resource Utilization Model (R.U.M.) is a computerized, discrete event simulation of course operations for resource planning.
