User Manual for Personnel Inventory Aging and Promotion Model

This manual describes the use and maintenance of the Personnel Inventory Aging and Promotion (PIAP) model and discusses its development, structure, and outputs. Additionally, the manual provides guidance for interpreting the model’s results. The PIAP model can be used to examine the effect of various manpower policy implementations and their future consequences to the Navy’s personnel profile. The user may analyze how policy changes will affect promotion tempo, promotion rates, likelihood of promotion, time in service, time in grade, separation rates, and future gaps between requirements and personnel. The PIAP model resides in an Access database and includes an Excel workbook that compiles, processes, and formats the data for analysis.
