Personnel Service Support Planning Factors System Study

Abstract

Results from this study indicate that PSS planners holding a variety of positions at different levels of the Army rely on less than optimal data from 'dated sources. The processes currently used to obtain PSS planning factor data lack consistency and efficiency. Planners at all echelons need more reliable PSS data as well as a system for the development and maintenance of missing or deficient factors. A draft regulation proposed by the study sets forth policy and establishes responsibility for the management of PSS planning factors Army- wide. Missing or deficient factors critical to accomplishing operational objectives in manning the force are identified and prioritized as a part of the analyses. More importantly, the study outlines procedures and an organizational structure for streamlining the development, validation, and dissemination of PSS planning factors in a centralized system. Keywords: Personnel combat service support; Planning; Data bases.
