Comparative Analysis of Manual and Automated AFEES
Abstract
This report documents the approach, results, conclusions and recommendations of all studies accomplished to evaluate the effectiveness of automation in the AFEES operational environment and provides insight into possible extension to a national system. The major part of this report evaluates the effectiveness of automation for a single AFEES (Baltimore), thereby establishing those functions within an AFEES that should be automated. The remainder takes the individual Automated AFEES and discusses how this automation could be extended to a national Automated AFEES system. A three step data collection effort and a comparative analysis was made between the manual and Automated AFEES (Manual, Manual-modified and Automated data collection steps are used to develop the comparative analysis). In order to collect data for this report, the AFEES was separated into five functional areas: Reception and Orientation, Mental Test, Medical, Enlistment, and Administrative. This analysis describes the pros and cons of automation for each functional area, a cost analysis of the two systems, and recommendations for improvements.
