"Personnel forecasting strategic workforce planning": a proposed simulation cost modeling methodology
نویسندگان
چکیده
A unique approach is developed for evaluating personnel requirements of the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA). With this approach new ways of measuring personnel availability are proposed and available to ensure that NIMA remains ready to provide timely, relevant, and accurate imagery, imagery intelligence and geospatial information in support of the national security objectives of the United States during the projected defense draw down beyond the year 2000. The development of this analysis methodology was established as an alternative approach to existing studies to determine appropriate hiring and attrition rates, under all categories, to maintain appropriate personnel levels of effectiveness to support existing and future mission requirements. The contribution of this research is a prescribed method for the strategic analyst to incorporate a personnel and cost simulation model, which can be used to project personnel requirements and evaluate workforce sustainment, at least cost, through time. This will allow various personnel managers to evaluate multiple resource strategies, present and future, maintaining near perfect hiring/attrition policies to support a 9000+ NIMA workforce.

متن کامل2000: the Merger of Discrete Event Simulation with Activity Based Costing for Cost Estimation in Manufacturing Environments
Activity based costing (ABC) has revolutionized product costing, planning, and forecasting in the last decade. It is based on a philosophy of estimation that: it is better to be approximately right, than precisely wrong. The philosophy of discrete-event simulation modeling follows a similar tack, where statistical inference and the stochastic nature of processes are used to replicate the beha...
