Marine Corps Recruit Classification: The Program Fill-Rate Component

Abstract

A fill-rate component was developed and tested for the Marine Corps' program management module, which governs the allocation of recruit applicants to enlisted program guarantees within the Automated Recruit Management System (ARMS). Marine Corps policy directives led to the formulation of a utility component capable of meeting program fill-rate requirements. The resulting component was tested by simulating recruit assignments and assessing model performance characteristics. Programs filled at nearly uniform rates for all 9 sample months examined. The results of assignment by model (ABM) were compared to actual assignment (AA) results. The ABM resulted in personnel allocation to enlisted guarantee programs at more uniform accession rates than AA. Subject terms: Personnel classification; person-job match; level loading; accession rate; utility model; program management; recruit allocation.
