Job Assessment Software System (JASS) for Analysis of Weapon Systems Personnel Requirements
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to develop a flexible, easy to use, and rapid rating scheme that allows weapon systems designers and planners to specify the aptitudes required to perform system operation and maintenance tasks. These aptitude requirements can then be used as a basis to determine if the human resource pool can supply sufficient personnel to operate the system. Fleishman's taxonomy of forty cognitive, perceptual, and psychomotor aptitudes as extended into a binary decision flow structure was programmed onto a microcomputer. The computerized rating scheme, called the Job Assessment Software System (JASS) was designed to allow users to respond to the taxonomy quickly and efficiently. The resulting output is a profile of the aptitude requirements for a weapon systems job. With further development and validation, JASS could be used by military system planners and defense contract system designers to specify the personnel requirements of a new weapons system.
