Abstract
Continuing pressure to maximize the utilization of
resources at all levels in public sector ogranizations
invites the use of management science techniques in the
development of strategic and medium range plans and policies.
When both the number of constrained resources and the
projects to which those resources must be distributed are
large, management decision-making can be aided by reducing
the number of alternatives through the implementation of
an optimal decision model. Three resource allocation
methods are presented for the Naval Air Test Center; the
present incremental method; a capital budgeting method
allocating one constrained resource in a satisfying solution;
and an allocation model that allows conversion of manpower
resources from one labor function and type to another
through training, hiring, substitution of contracting.
The latter model also includes constraints on capital
investment and aircraft utilization in the selection of an
optimum portfolio of projects over a time horizon of four
years.
