Abstract:

The Aggregate Lifecycle Effectiveness and Cost ALEC model enables managers of Air Force enlisted personnel to compare the cost effectiveness of alternative management actions for a part of the force selected for analysis. Example actions are limits on the numbers of various types of enlistments, reenlistment bonuses designed to increase the number of persons making the Air Force a career, retraining programs that transfer personnel from one speciality to another, and the early-release program. Volume I gives the theory and behavioral relationships used to build the model and gives cost-effectiveness results. Keywords Cost effectiveness, Cost analysis, Mathematical models, Air Force personnel, Personnel management, Manpower utilization.
