The Design and Implementation of a Job Application Decision Support System for the Civilian Personnel Office

Abstract

The recent purchase of Televideo computer systems for government agencies has enabled them to propose new methods of information management techniques. However, limited assistance is available for designing programs which could be beneficial in performing certain time-consuming functions. This thesis provides a design and implementation for a decision support system which assists the Civilian Personnel Office at the Naval Postgraduate School in providing job vacancy information to prospective employees. In addition, it can provide valuable advancement information to current Federal employees. The program is designed using R:Base 5000 and allows the user the opportunity to provide ongoing recommendations and to customize the program to suit individual office needs. These recommendations can then be incorporated into future versions of the system to enhance its decision support capabilities.
