A Decision Support Personnel Monitoring Database System prototype for the United States Marine Corps.

Abstract

This thesis examines the decision criteria used in monitoring personnel within the United States Marine Corps. Given the decision criteria used in the manual process, a prototype Decision Support Personnel Monitoring Database System is developed using the dBASE III query language. The system is designed to run on a microcomputer and allows the user to add, modify, delete or review all databases. Personnel reports can be generated identifying all officers eligible for a specific billet or all billets that an officer is qualified to fill. This real-time personnel monitoring system is used to assist the personnel monitors in matching vacant job assignments with eligible qualified Marines.
