This paper presents a discrete-event simulation model
used to explore various possibilities for improving the
training continuum at the Marine Corps Communication-
Electronics School. The goal of the analysis is to reduce
the average waiting time experienced by Marines as they
wait for their formal training to commence. Results show
that the implementation of even the least beneficial of
these improvements yields a 37 percent reduction in waiting
time. The best single change yields an 82 percent reduction.
This translates into a 30 day reduction in average
waiting time per Marine. If all improvements were implemented,
a reduction of 88 percent could be achieved,
bringing the average waiting time per Marine down to
less than 5 days.
