Measuring the value of graduate manpower systems analysis education for Naval officers.O'Sullivan, Lindsay M. 06 1900 (has links)
This thesis examines methods to assess the value of the Manpower Systems Analysis (MSA) Curriculum at the Naval Postgraduate School. What exactly does the Navy get in return from the MSA curriculum graduates? Is the return on investment simply an increase in â Quality of Life,â thus increasing retention? Or does the MSA curriculum teach graduates the necessary skills for follow-on billets? Individuals in the private and public sections have tried to quantify the value of both training and education. However, currently most measures of effectiveness are based purely on financial aspects of the education. Little has been done to capture the result of the investments in human capital on any part of the organization. The result of this research is the creation of two surveys that will be used as vehicles to access the value of the MSA curriculum to the Navy and to the graduate. The surveys created are for MSA graduates and their immediate supervisors. This research identifies specific measures and survey techniques that can be used to evaluate education and training. In the future, this approach can be applied to other curricula. / US Navy (USN) author.

Optimizing the allocation of sensor assets for the unit of actionTutton, Stephanie J. 06 1900 (has links)
Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. / The U.S. Army's Objective Force is being developed as a faster, lighter, more rapidly deployable alternative to the current force structure. The development of a strategy for the allocation of the Unit of Action's organic sensing assets is necessary to achieve the maximum situational awareness and information dominance required for successful combat operations on the future battlefield. This thesis presents a methodology for finding an appropriate mix and allocation strategy for organic Unit of Action sensors in a given scenario. Three aggregate levels are identified: sensors, platforms, and packages and performance measures are developed at each level. Two optimization models were developed, (1) a Sensor Allocation Model that, given a fixed mix or inventory, allocates assets to target areas on the battlefield, and (2) a Sensor Mix Model that suggests an organic mix of sensors for consideration in developing the Objective Force structure. These models have the additional potential for use as an operational decision support tool for unit commanders. The notional data set used for model development included ten platform types, ten target clusters, ten target categories, four enemy orders of battle, and four outcomes, however these inputs are easily modified based on the requirements of the user or analyst. / Major, United States Army
