SIMPO-I General Entity Simulator (GES)


Book Description

The report describes the development and preliminary testing of a generalized personnel entity modeling system. A research project was undertaken to develop a computerized modeling capability which could be used to simulate and evaluate many different Army manpower systems without reprogramming. The general entity simulator (GES) was developed to provide users of the SIMPO-I simulation package analyses usually not possible with more general mass flow models. (Modified author abstract).




Summary of SIMPO-I Model Development


Book Description

The report presents a study and evaluation of the Army's personnel subsystem with respect to effectiveness of its policies in assignment, training, utilization, and contingency readiness of specialized personnel. The SIMPO-I effort has been directed to development of a model simulation package for assessing quantitatively the cumulative impact of personnel policy changes on the allocation, distribution, and utilization of Army personnel with special attention to effects of policies on deployability. The present publication reports on progress in the production and planning of computerized models for use in dealing with the manpower system problems and for evaluating alternative personnel policies.
