Simulation Utility Management System (SUMS): User's Manual

Abstract

This research project produced a multi-job/force-level analysis model with supporting software. Incorporated in the Simulation Utility Management System (SUMS) are the abilities to: (a) consider the allocation of personnel within a dynamic multi-job system, (b) assess the interdependencies among utility estimates in the multi-job system, (c) investigate potential tradeoffs between single job and overall force-level utilities, and (d) perform sensitivity analyses of the effects of changes in enlistment standards and other personnel policies on single and total system utilities. SUMS provides the user with the capability to affect personnel programs such as: enlistment standards, job classification standards, promotion policies, and force-downsizing policies. These policies can be evaluated in terms of single and total system costs, values and productive capacities.
