A Network Approach to Rated Officer Gate Management.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to provide Air Force rated officer managers at the Air Force Military Personnel Center with a decision aid for the management of rated officer flying gates. Air Force rated officers are those officers who hold an aeronautical rating and are authorized to perform duties as pilots or navigators. Flying gates are milestones that must be achieved at certain phase points of a rated officer's career. This study resulted in development of a single commodity network flow model with side constraints. This model is designed to represent the rotation of rated officers between flying and nonflying duties and provides a means for measuring overall attainment of flying gates. It is an aggregate model which provides general assignment guidance aimed at minimizing nonachievement of flying gate requirements, while maintaining required manning levels in flying and nonflying duties.
