Assignment Policy Management System (APMS), A Decision Support Tool for Application in the Distribution and Assignment Department in the Navy Personnel Command

摘要

A decision support model was developed to assist Enlisted Detailers in making informed decisions when assigning personnel to jobs in the assignment distribution process within the Enlisted Assignment Division, PERS-40 at the Navy Personnel Command. A large-scale optimization model with trade-off analysis is used to integrate assignment policies and goals, allocation policies and person/job eligibility criteria. The model provides an automated means for detailers to determine the maximum assignment possibilities to find the optimal solution set for a group of personnel and jobs.
