Navy Personnel Accessioning System (NPAS). III. Development of a Microcomputer Demonstration System.
Abstract
The purpose of the Navy Personnel Accessioning System (NPAS) project was to develop, test, and evaluate a distributed processing, Navy personnel accessioning network. Computer-based personnel assessment and measurement techniques were to be integrated into a system designed to serve as a data base management and labor-saving device for the Navy Recruiting Command, assign recruits optimally to Navy ratings and reserve training school seat, provide individualized career information to applicants with fewer support personnel than at present, and improve person-job placement. The objectives of the research reported here were to: Develop a demonstration version of the NPAS system, capable of running on a stand-alone microcomputer, as a briefing model and a demonstration vehicle; Demonstrate the system to Navy Recruiting Command (NRC) management to assist them in evaluation its effectiveness in meeting the needs of Navy recruiting. demonstrate the system at a formal Commander, NRC (CNRC) decision briefing to secure alternative funding.
