Integrated Simulation Evaluation Model Prototype (ISEM-P) of the Air Force Manpower and Personnel System: Overview and Sensitivity Analysis.
Abstract
The Integrated Simulation Evaluation Model Prototype (ISEM-P) is a computer program that simulates the basic planning activities and decision-making procedures involved in the Air Force Manpower and Personnel System (AFMPS). It embodies a dynamic modular representation of the AFMPS in which aggregate manpower planning, training program management, detailed personnel assignment scheduling, and actual personnel flows are characterized as integrated, interdependent activities that control the evolution of the force over time. ISEM-P has been designed as a prototype for a large-scale model that would serve as analytical tool in predicting and evaluating the impacts of changes in policies, procedures, and environmental conditions on the performance of the entire AFMPS. This technical report presents a detailed overview of ISEM-P and summarizes the results of an extensive sensitivity analysis of the prototype. Included in the report are a brief discussion of the organization, functions, and operation of the AFMPS; a more detailed explanation of the structure and operation of ISEM-P, and its relationship to the AFMPS; a discussion of the conceptual framework and analytic methodology employed in the sensitivity analysis; a summary of the results derived by applying the methodology to assess the sensitivity of ISEM-P within the context of the conceptual framework; and a listing of the conclusions and recommendations emerging from the analysis.
