Duty Module Methodology for Officer Career Management System Development.
Abstract
A unique personnel management system concept, called the Duty Module, is a product of a procedure for representing clusters of tasks which go together statistically and logically so that jobs can be represented in a more specific manner than an MOS and with greater simplicity than task descriptions. The Duty Module concept has great utility across the broad spectrum of requirements of a large scale personnel management system such as that found in the U.S. Army. This report summarizes research to refine, expand, and integrate the state-of-knowledge regarding Duty Modules into a coherent an useful system for application to the U.S. Army Officer Personnel Management System (OPMS). A set of Duty Modules had previously been developed for the Infantry, Ordinance, Quartermaster, and Engineer Branches. Although the primary goal of the current work was to refine and document the methods and procedures for developing and applying Duty Modules to OPMS, it was deemed useful to analyze positions from a new (fifth) Army Branch as well. The Branch selected was Armor. The complete set of current Duty Modules is now applicable across the five Army Branches analyzed to date. (Author)
