Model Description and Proposed Application for the Enlisted Personnel Inventory, Cost, and Compensation Model
Abstract
The Enlisted Personnel Inventory, Cost, and Compensation (EPICC) model is a PC-based analysis tool that aids Army personnel planners in assessing the inventory and cost implications of changes in compensation and other personnel policies. The EPICC prototype was developed by SRA Corporation under a research and development effort sponsored by the U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI). EPICC assists Army personnel planners in assessment of the cost and inventory implications of alternative Army-wide policies that may be under consideration. It is the ideal tool for this purpose because it is composed of three modules that touch on all aspects of personnel policy analysis: an inventory projection module, a compensation module, and a cost module. The inventory projection module is the core of EPICC. Using an analyst-defined scenario, which includes specifications of both compensation and personnel management policies, the module ages a baseline enlisted force for up to 9 fiscal years. Along with the projected inventories, the module estimates losses (normal, involuntary, and forced), reenlistments and extensions, promotions, and non-prior-service accession requirements.
