Evaluation of Proposed Method of Estimating Work Output of Army Personnel for Use in Optimal Regions Allocation.

Abstract

The optimal regions method of personnel classification is currently under study to determine if the method can be developed for operational use in solving Army personnel allocation problems. The optimal regions method is based on the concept of maximizing the estimated output of personnel entering the Army. At the time of classification, future output can be predicted by combinations of tests called aptitude areas. Each aptitude area score is an estimate of future output associated with a particular occupation (MOS group). The sum of aptitude area scores for the incumbents of each occupation represents the estimated group output for each occupation. Summing over all occupations and subjects produces the estimated total output for all occupations combined.
