A LARGE‐SCALE PERSONNEL ASSIGNMENT MODEL FOR THE NAVY*
针对美国海军人员频繁轮换的复杂分配问题，开发了一个大规模网络模型，已被海军采纳以替代人工分配流程，帮助管理者优化决策。
ABSTRACT The U.S. Navy has been trying for years to develop a model to automate its personnel assignment process The requirement of rotating navy personnel frequently between sea duty and shore duty in accordance with multiple policies makes modeling efforts difficult. However, without a model to optimize assignments with regard to multiple policies, navy managers do not know the real impact of personnel assignments. This limits their ability to make effective decisions. This paper summarizes our effort to develop a large‐scale network model for the navy's assignment problem. The navy has accepted this model for implementation, replacing the current manual assignment process. The approach in this paper can be generalized to a wide variety of perosnnel assignment problems.
