Integrated Manpower and Program Planning Models for Laboratory Management.

Abstract : The paper discusses manpower planning systems for a large Naval laboratory which are being developed from an integrated point of view. This includes the implementation results of a goal programming model with embedded Markov processes to assist in the evaluation of staffing plans. A description is given of the methods used to bring together manpower and budgetary information through the integration of technical program, financial, and personnel data. Included are the verification of initial results of model application and a discussion of other analyses which are being used in addition to the models. (Author)
