This book was released on 1972 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of the study is to take a quantitative approach in deriving adequate and accurate cost and effectiveness measures for Active Army and Reserve component forces; and secondly, in applying three methods of linear programming to alternative mixes of these forces in order to structure the total force requirement to meet the national security objectives in 1975. The analytical process of systems analysis and the fixed-budget approach are used to develop a linear programming model to solve the resource allocation problem. Geometric, simplex, and matrix methods are applied to alternative linear programming models using a new measure of effectiveness-deployability. (Modified author abstract).

This book was released on 2016-08-16 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Detailed Military Spending Cost Analysis by the CBO to Better Inform Policymakers and the Public In this report, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) analyzes the structure and cost of the military from the perspective of major combat units, such as Army brigades, Navy aircraft carrier strike groups, Marine Corps task forces, and Air Force squadrons. CBO allocates most of the O&S budget and DoD's total number of military personnel among major combat units-- and their associated support units and overhead activities--to provide a clearer picture of the size and cost of the major elements of the military's force structure. Such information can help policymakers evaluate proposals to change the structure or budget of the armed forces and better inform the general public. Tables and Figures, including illustrations of equipment,personnel and other data are included to provide an easy method to understand this topic.

This book was released on 1989 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report documents an exploratory research project that considers the salient relationships between wartime and peacetime manpower roles and between military and civilian manpower utilization--and how these relationships can be integrated in a manpower management model. It also discusses whether such a model would evaluate manning options differently from conventional analysis, i.e., whether it could fundamentally alter Department of Defense (DOD) labor management. The authors outline desirable features for a total force management model, build a rudimentary version of such a model, and exercise it to demonstrate that it can lead to manning policies different from those favored by existing DOD policy. The total force modeling approach they propose has the following features: (1) the management objective is cost-effectiveness; (2) peacetime costs are linked to wartime capability goals by the need to establish and maintain peacetime resource inventories for potential wartime use; (3) different areas of defense endeavor have different combinations of wartime and peacetime capability goals; (4) different categories of manpower are linked by their overlapping capacities to contribute to peacetime performance and wartime capability; (5) a worker's value in defense activities is evaluated in two dimensions; and (6) the costs and capabilities derived from military manning are heavily influenced by limited lateral entry to the military personnel inventories.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praise for the Second Edition: "This is quite a well-done book: very tightly organized, better-than-average exposition, and numerous examples, illustrations, and applications." —Mathematical Reviews of the American Mathematical Society An Introduction to Linear Programming and Game Theory, Third Edition presents a rigorous, yet accessible, introduction to the theoretical concepts and computational techniques of linear programming and game theory. Now with more extensive modeling exercises and detailed integer programming examples, this book uniquely illustrates how mathematics can be used in real-world applications in the social, life, and managerial sciences, providing readers with the opportunity to develop and apply their analytical abilities when solving realistic problems. This Third Edition addresses various new topics and improvements in the field of mathematical programming, and it also presents two software programs, LP Assistant and the Solver add-in for Microsoft Office Excel, for solving linear programming problems. LP Assistant, developed by coauthor Gerard Keough, allows readers to perform the basic steps of the algorithms provided in the book and is freely available via the book's related Web site. The use of the sensitivity analysis report and integer programming algorithm from the Solver add-in for Microsoft Office Excel is introduced so readers can solve the book's linear and integer programming problems. A detailed appendix contains instructions for the use of both applications. Additional features of the Third Edition include: A discussion of sensitivity analysis for the two-variable problem, along with new examples demonstrating integer programming, non-linear programming, and make vs. buy models Revised proofs and a discussion on the relevance and solution of the dual problem A section on developing an example in Data Envelopment Analysis An outline of the proof of John Nash's theorem on the existence of equilibrium strategy pairs for non-cooperative, non-zero-sum games Providing a complete mathematical development of all presented concepts and examples, Introduction to Linear Programming and Game Theory, Third Edition is an ideal text for linear programming and mathematical modeling courses at the upper-undergraduate and graduate levels. It also serves as a valuable reference for professionals who use game theory in business, economics, and management science.

This book was released on 1991 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current study extends the previous research in three ways. First, we show how the findings from applying the TFM model can be used to develop guidelines for manning various types of defense activities. For general oversight purposes, screening criteria can be based on the answers to specific questions about an activity's peacetime and wartime work loads; about the relative contributions that activities, reserves, and civilians can make; and about the comparisons of their costs. These screening criteria can be implemented using tables and charts similar to those developed here to determine the least costly manning mix consistent with achieving all work loads. We also illustrated the structure of fully specified linear programming models that can generate results for detailed manpower and personnel management.

This book was released on 1969 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How much should a person with a given set of qualifications be paid so that his salary is consistent with other salaries in an organization. The purpose of this document is to explore the possible utilization of linear programming techniques for answering the above question in job-salary evaluation. Specifically, a linear programming model is used to analyze a hierarchical salary structure in a school district. The model is used to determine the relative importance of each of the compensable elements of each function (position) in a school district. In addition, monetary equivalents to these elements are derived from the model in order to develop a consistent scale of compensation within a school district. The proposed type of job-salary evaluation scheme might have wide application in the Air Force as well as civilian sector, since it could be of important use in determining discrepancies or in determining those positions in the Air Force which seem 'out of line' in terms of salary or grade classification. The development of utility objective functions, so factors of a job which are considered crucial, receive higher relative weights would tend to increase the flexibility of the salary schedule in responding to the changing needs and demands of the organization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents partial findings from the DoD Cost Factor Project. Volume 1 (R-4078/2-PA&E) describes the Army decisionmaking process, and this volume describes data sources and methods used to develop cost factors. "Cost factors" are measures used to estimate the cost implication of changes in defense missions, force structures, weapon systems or operating levels. They include recurring operating and support costs, nonrecurring operations and maintenance costs, and investments costs, such as facility construction. The study also examines intermediate factors, such as personnel pay rates, that are used to develop cost estimates.
