Robust Separation Projection Method for Predicting Monthly Losses of Air ForceEnlisted Personnel

摘要

The Short-Term Aggregate Inventory Projection Model (SAM) is one component of theEnlisted Force Management System (EFMS). SAM makes monthly projections (for the rest of the current fiscal year) of the aggregate force (the total enlisted force across all specialties). SAM can be used to analyze the total size, grade composition, and budget cost of the enlisted force during a fiscal year. It supports planning of management actions to achieve user-specified end-of-year force levels (known as end strengths) and user-specified end-of-the-year grade levels (known as grade strengths). The SAM model contains five modules: Module P: Preprocessor, Module 1: Separation Projection, Module 2: Inventory and Cost Projection, Module 3: Computer Aided Design, Module 4: Plan Comparison.
