Navy Enlisted Advancement Planning and the Advancement Interface System (ADIN)

摘要

The Navy's enlisted advancement system seeks to satisfy the requirements for petty officer personnel among ratings and paygrades and control the expenditure of its manpower budget. In addition, the system is intended to create a pool of petty officers for assignment to duty by paygrade and skill. Until recently, the tools for managing the advancement system were deficient. This report provides an overview of the new enlisted Advancement Interface System (ADIN), and a description of the advancement planning process. ADIN improves on the former system by using current versus up to 11-month-old personnel inventories, interfacing with other manpower forecasting models, computing 'carrydown' vacancies, and incorporating features for easy use by computer-naive advancement planners.
