Performance to Plan: Big Data Keeps Fighters Flying

In Navy Performance to Plan (P2P) for Super Hornet fighter jets, CNA data scientists worked with big data and complex models to help meet readiness targets.

optimism, tired of looking at graphs that drew a straight line between where we are and where we want to be, without analysis,” says Dr. Gregg Schell, who led the Super Hornet P2P analysis for CNA ... that tracked the status of each individual aircraft. Precision Targeting The P2P process required quarterly meetings of leaders from the Pentagon and Navy aviation, where Schell would report on the latest refinements of the models and their findings. “When they first learned that they were going to be the guinea pigs for P2P, they were not excited,” recalls Schell. “But over time, they went from

Personnel Cost Minimization

/analyses/2019/04/personnel-cost-minimization

On average, female enlisted sailors have lower continuation rates than male sailors, but the size of the difference varies by enlisted management community (EMC) and years of service. To fill requirements as the female share of accessions increases, the Navy can increase the overall number of accessions, increase retention bonuses, or both. The choices generate different costs for each EMC that depend on the required accession qualifications (e.g., recruiting effort and training intensity/time), the EMC billet structure, and the size of the gender differences in continuation rates. We present a prototype stochastic inventory projection model that helps make two main decisions for each of 5 EMCs independently: (1) number of accessions and (2) selective reenlistment bonus (SRB) levels. For different levels of the female share of accessions, the model minimizes cost while meeting manning requirements. We then employ a second cost minimization routine (i.e., a bi-level optimization) to find the costminimizing solution across the five EMCs. If expanded to all EMCs, the model could provide analytic support for finding cost-minimizing accession and SRB plans.
