An Analysis of Selected Quantitative Methods to Air Force Communications Command Electronics Installation Workload Assignment and Scheduling

摘要

This thesis reviews and evaluates two models developed to assign and schedule workload assigned to the Air Force Communications Command Engineering and Installations Activities. Each model applies mission and unit unique characteristics of manpower, travel, and personnel skills to develop optimum assignment and scheduling packages. Critiques of the Hammell models and recommendations for their improvement and the improvement of their supporting data bases were made. The thesis concluded that while Captain Hammell's models were basically sound and workable, further development and strengthening of each model may be accomplished by the inclusion of more real world data, clarification of certain assumptions, and construction of a new data base.
