Outline
• introduction
• case study
– modelling process
– sample results
• future work
Defence R&D Canada – CORA • R & D pour la défense Canada – CARO
What is the Production Management Tool (PMT)?
• simulation tool that can be used for:
– viewing and analyzing the current and future state of a training pipeline
– identifying existing or arising scheduling problems (i.e. bottlenecks, empty seats, etc.)
• conducting “what if?” testing by changing pipeline parameters (e.g. course capacities, number or timing of serials, streaming, intake, etc.)

What is the Production Management Tool (PMT)?
• three major components:
– Arena model
• event-driven simulation model
• generic (can be used for any CF occupation)
– database
• contains the information required by the simulation (basic scenario parameters, information on course flow, entry plans and courses, course serials, and personnel)
• after running, contains text file with output results
• includes extensive set of queries for analyzing results
– Graphical User Interface (GUI)
• used for entering data, generating charts and reports

ANAV Test Case
• Step 1: Gather Information
• Step 2: Generate Credit Matrix
• Step 3: Clean Data
• Step 4: Set Up Scenario in GUI and Run
• Step 5: Analyze Data

Step 1: Gather Information (with SME support)
• develop training pipeline
– establish course flow from recruitment to graduation for each possible entry plan
• obtain current pipeline status
– past, current, and planned course schedules
– course history for each student
– most data can be imported from the Military Individual Training & Education (MITE) database extract
• determine whether course failure results in re-course or transfer out of occupation
• determine overall attrition rate

Step 2: Generate Credit Matrix
• completing a course gives a specified number of credits (0 to 1) toward eligibility for other courses
• student is eligible for a course when he/she earns a total of 1.0 credits for that course
• alternatively, students can be streamed into one of a set of courses according to specified proportions

Step 3: Clean Data
• MITE Extract contains several data tables
– OP_COURSE_TBL
• general high-level details for each course
– OP_CRSE_SESSN_TBL
• details for every course serial, e.g. start/end dates, min/max capacity
– OP_TRAINING
• course/serial registration and attendance results for each student
– POPULATION
• each student’s Service Number, name, rank, hire date, occupation, entry plan
Defence R&D Canada – CORA • R & D pour la défense Canada – CARO
Data Cleaning Issues – Examples
• adjust serial capacity (OP_CRSE_SESSN_TBL)
– change min capacity to 1 for courses that are shared with other occupations
• update course codes and serials (OP_TRAINING)
– course will not be recognized if individual took it under earlier code
• validate/update entry plans (POPULATION)
– often unknown or named differently in MITE Extract; OT/COR is never indicated
– check each individual’s course history to infer entry plan and update if required

Step 5: Analyze Data
• many types of charts and reports can be produced easily by the user at the course, serial, or person level
• time period for analysis can be selected by user so that different time segments of the simulation can be compared
• the charts shown in the following slides represent a five year period beginning on the simulation start date (14 Feb 2008)

• probability-based recourse/transfer on fail
• add flexibility to attrition parameter
• improve handling of entry plans
