Analysis and Modelling for Human Resource Management in Defence (Analyse et modelisation de la gestion des ressources humaines en matiere de defense).

摘要

Motivated personnel, in sufficient numbers and with the right mix of skills, training and experience is the bedrock of military capability. This has always been the case, but the requirements of defence transformation have led to increased levels of interest in this area as many nations embark on major changes in manpower structures in order to meet the new needs of expeditionary operations rather than territorial defence. Even for nations who have largely completed this change, demographic and economic pressures will continue to pose major challenges to national Ministries of Defence in formulating and implementing personnel policies. Many of the problems that currently exist in this area make it difficult for Nations and NATO Human Resource Management (HRM) bodies to function efficiently and effectively. Operational analysis and other model-based approaches are capable of providing valuable support to defence decision-makers addressing personnel issues. However, this application domain has tended to have a lower profile than work relating to topics such as concepts of operation, equipment acquisition and logistics. The Specialists' Meeting therefore provided an opportunity to redress this balance. The purpose of the Research Specialist Meeting SAS-073 on Analysis and Modelling for Human Resource Management in Defence was to provide a forum for participants to exchange experiences and perceptions on the way in which operational analysis or other forms of modelling and simulation can provide support to decisions relating to human resource management within national armed forces and to discuss further possible collaborative research programs.
