Development of an MPT Management System
Abstract
This contract (ONR: N00014-00-C-0270) has resulted in two deliverables, apart from this final report. The first deliverable is a software application intended primarily to facilitate officer detailing in the U.S. Navy and other military agencies. It may also be useful in civilian organizations with complicated personnel assignment or reassignment needs. The second deliverable is a design of software intended to facilitate enlisted career counseling in the U.S. Navy and other large civilian or military organizations. The primary feature of the first deliverable, tentatively entitled DETAILER, is that it is based on two-sided matching. Thus all matchings assigned by the program are stable. No officer and command both prefer each other to the billet and officer assigned them. The officer may prefer other billets but those commands prefer the officers assigned to them. Similarly, a command may prefer other officers to the one it has been assigned but those officers prefer the billets they have been assigned. other features of DETAILER are: -The program recognizes that officers typically change jobs every few years. The user can make exceptions if he or she chooses but ordinarily each officer has a transfer date when he or she is expected to move to another job. -The program takes account of rank. The default condition is that an officer can be assigned to a billet rated at the officer's current rank or one rank above or below it. Again, the user can make exceptions if he or she chooses. -The program takes account of transfer dates. The user can specify how long a gap (how many months) there may be between the departure of the incumbent officer and the arrival of his or her replacement. Similarly, the user can specify how much overlap (how many months) there may be when both officers are on board. Again, of course, the user may make exceptions.
