A First-Term Attrition Severity Index for U. S. Navy Ratings.

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis was the development of a first-term attrition severity index for 85 United States Navy enlisted ratings. The multiattribute model utilized in the development of the index was constructed using five rating-specific factors: (1) attrition, (2) replacement cost, (3) size (number of personnel in the rating), (4) shortage or excess of billet requirements, and (5) priority. The model provided first-term attrition severity indicators for the 85 ratings included in the study, indicating the diverse impact of attrition across Navy ratings and providing a practical basis for assigning scarce manpower resources to enlisted ratings experiencing the most severe effects of first-term attrition.
