Download or read book Air Force Enlisted Force Management System Interactions and Synchronization Strategies written by and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In September 2004, the active-duty enlisted component of the United States Air Force consisted of about 298,000 airmen. These airmen performed duties in about 200 specialties. Because the relationships between job requirements and personnel management policies are so complex, dedicated enlisted strength managers have never matched the inventory of people, by Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) and grade, to manpower requirements. There are structural obstacles that impede achieving this goal. The three major independently managed systems the Air Force uses to determine manpower strength currently tend to function in isolation. These systems are as follows: (1) the manpower system, which sets requirements for each grade and AFSC combination; (2) the strength management system, which establishes targets for overall strength, recruiting, retraining, and bonuses; and (3) the enlisted promotion system, which determines the annual number of promotions for each grade in the aggregate and in each AFSC. Because the current organizational structure lacks broad coordinating and control mechanisms, actions taken to control one system often adversely affect another. The authors lay the foundation for a discussion of policy changes that would better synchronize these systems. They propose a methodology that would marginally modify grade authorizations within skill levels to make it possible to better achieve manpower targets. Each specialty would retain the same number of authorizations within each skill level, and the aggregate solution would maintain the same total number of enlisted authorizations by grade. This would help the manpower community follow the policy of equal selection opportunity while also taking personnel management system capabilities into account.

This book was released on 2021-03-02 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The USAir Force human capital management (HCM) system is not easily defined or mapped. It affects virtually every part of the Air Force because workforce policies, procedures, and processes impact all offices and organizations that include Airmen and responsibilities and relationships change regularly. To ensure the readiness of Airmen to fulfill the mission of the Air Force, strategic approaches are developed and issued through guidance and actions of the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Manpower, Personnel and Services and the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Manpower and Reserve Affairs. Strengthening US Air Force Human Capital Management assesses and strengthens the various U.S. Air Force initiatives and programs working to improve person-job match and human capital management in coordinated support of optimal mission capability. This report considers the opportunities and challenges associated with related interests and needs across the USAF HCM system as a whole, and makes recommendations to inform improvements to USAF personnel selection and classification and other critical system components across career trajectories. Strengthening US Air Force Human Capital Management offers the Air Force a strategic approach, across a connected HCM system, to develop 21st century human capital capabilities essential for the success of 21st century Airmen.

Download or read book Selecting a Decision Support System Generator for the Air Force s Enlisted Force Management System written by Robert G. Walker and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Many of the software requirements for a decision support system (DSS) are not specific to an application (e.g., database management and report generation). Developing the software to provide such general capabilities might take more effort than developing the software for the specific application. In order to facilitate the building of the Air Force's Enlisted Force Management System, a general-purpose off-the-shelf software package (called a DSS generator) was acquired in which the specific system models could be embedded. This report explains how the DSS generator was obtained. It presents the objectives that were defined for the generator and the requirements that were derived from these objectives. It then describes the structured evaluation process that led to the ultimate selection."--Rand abstracts

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the concepts underlying the Air Force's Enlisted Force Management System (EFMS), briefly introduces, the system's models and databases, and presents some policy insights gained by use of the models. It serves as an overview of RAND's work on the Enlisted Force Management Project (EFMP). The Air Force's previous system for managing its enlisted force(TOPCAP) was adopted in 1971. At that time was the most advanced and sophisticated system for managing the enlisted force of all services. Although TOPCAP served the Air Force well, the environment in which it had to operate changed considerably. TOPCAP's models were not revised to keep peace with these changes, so many fell into disuse. The overriding objectives in the design of the EFMS were to: Improve the effectiveness and efficiency of enlisted force management. Place the personnel and manpower managers in more direct control of the information and models. Coordinate, integrate, and unify the enlisted force planning and programming system. Make the system flexible, adaptable, and easy to maintain. For purposes of describing the system and explaining its functions, we divide the constituent models in the EFMS into four major sets of computer programs according to their functions. Figure S.1 shows the four sets of models, their interrelationships, and their most important inputs and outputs.
