This thesis presents an interactive computer model
designed to examine the Surface Warfare Officer (SWO) Career
Path. The model called SWOPATH is designed to provide the
manpower managers with a fast, user friendly analytical
tool. The model is derived from a network representation of
a SWO career path, the rows representing the billet
activities, the columns the tours of duty. Career paths are
represented by arcs connecting the nodes of the network.
The model allows the manager to display current data and
evaluate the effect of altering career paths by changing
assignment tour lengths, transfer percentages from
assignments to assignments, and accessions to the SWO
community. The model's speed allows the manager to evaluate
several scenarios, providing an ability to quickly forecast
results of policy changes on the SWO community.
