Classification and Assignment within Pride (CLASP): A Recruit Assignment Model.

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to design, construct, and test a mathematical model for optimal assignment of Navy recruit applicants. Navy policy data were used to formulate experimental forms of utility model components. The forms were tested in a simulation procedure using Navy accession data. Performance characteristics were evaluated for the model, called Classification and Assignment Within PRIDE (CLASP). Results showed that the CLASP personnel allocation system provides decision-makers with an improved tool for personnel classification and placement. It enables managers to make personnel decisions with both greater accuracy and greater concern for individual applicants. Under both field test and simulation conditions, the CLASP procedure assigned personnel more effectively to optimal ratings than did the existing first-come, first-served procedure. (Author)
