Optimal Personnel Assignment: An Application to Air Force Pilots.

Abstract

A study was conducted to examine the potential utility of optimally assigning Air Force pilots to training tracks without benefit of actual training outcomes. The resulting assignment solution indicated that (a) there was sufficient agreement among pilots to form coherent selection policies that differed across types of aircraft, and (b) mean predicted performance could be improved about one-third standard deviation relative to random allocation. Follow-up research is discussed.
