Enlisted Advancement Optimization: A Multigoal Problem.

Abstract

In planning promotions for the Navy's enlisted petty officer personnel, it is rarely possible to satisfy all goals simultaneously. These goals include (1) enlisted manpower requirements by grade and occupation, (2) personnel ceilings, (3) 'minimization' of shortages and surpluses, (4) equal promotion opportunities among skill categories, and (5) satisfactory requirements for experience. A goal programming formulation is used to explore the structure of the problem and explicitly identify possible tradeoffs among conflicting goals. (Author)
