A Dynamic Model of the Air Force Graduate Education System

摘要

The Air Force's Advanced Academic Degree Management System (AADMS) consists of a number of unrelated and dynamically changing parts which provide a challenge to AADMS managers' ability to create and operate an effective decision structure. A computerized model which caters for features both internal to, and external to, but impacting upon the system, has been designed to allow managerial experimentation with policy decisions. As well as potential policy decision implications, the model enables an analysis of system response to factors not directly under the control of the Air Force. (Author)
