SIMPO-I DISTRO--Distribution Rotation Model

Abstract

The DISTRO model is an adaptation of the SIMPO-I General Matrix Manipulator (GMM). The adaptation was at the direction of a special monitor team from the SIMPO-I Steering Committee, and required by the Program to Improve Management of Army Resources (PRIMAR II). Based on the GMM, a mass flow model was developed to provide maximum coverage of policy-caused nondeployability. The model depicts the rotation, replacement, skill acquisition, and retention aspects of a 3-character MOS. It uses the results of the monthly projection of a basic personnel inventory by the GMM in a special computerized routine to predict distribution capabilities. Specific tour durations and service commitments, permanent and temporary deployability factors, and delays after training or enroute to assignments are constraints on the availability of individuals for the reassignment.
