Process
NAVMAC DETERMINATION VALIDATION
R/S AUTHORIZATION
CLAIMANT DETERMINATION
Determination Does an manpower shortfall
exist? Validation Identify the correct
requirement to meet that shortfall Authorization
Apply resource to the requirement

NAVMAC Approve change?
R/S Apply resources?
YES
YES
YES

• Decisions
• Request change?
• Approve change?
• Commit resources to make change reality?

Requirements Process Technology

• Total Force Manpower Management System (TFMMS)
• TFMMS Micro Manpower Change Application (TMMCA)
• Navy Manpower Requirements System (NMRS)

7
TFMMS

• What is it?
• Data warehouse
• Legacy system (3270)
• IBM mainframe computer
• Classified
• Data are all requirements, authorizations and
  end-strength
• Relational data
• Limited querying ability

8
TFMMS

• What does it do?
• Serves as the single authoritative source of all
  manpower and authorization data in Navy
  (1000.16J)
• Serves as central repository for manpower data
  (current and historical)
• DBMS
• Creation- requirment
• Deletion
• Change
• Produces reports (hard)

9
TMMCA

• What is it?
• Querying tool
• Software package/Microsoft Access
• Install on any PC
• Unclassified

10
TMMCA

• What does it do?
• Allows unclassified access to classified data
  warehouse (TFMMS)
• Extracts data from TFMMS
• AMD information
• Specific activity or entire claimant
• End-strength
• Simpler data Manipulation
• GUI-Microsoft Access
• Modeling

11
NMRS

• What is it?
• Modeling tool
• PC based client-server system
• Stand alone from TFMMS
• Located at NAVMAC
• Not portable like EXCEL or SAS

12
NMRS

• What does it do?
• Modeling tool
• Constructs manning document
• Input- information NAVMAC assessment team
• Process- model different levels of capabilites
  and readiness (ROC/POE). LP,certain,deterministic
• Output- optimal solution for manpower requirement
  at each level of capability and readiness.
  Unconstrained-solutions as fractions

How does it help the decision maker?

• CLAIMANT
• NAVMAC
• RESOURCE SPONSOR

Strengths and WeaknessesTFMMS

• Good
• Single point for recorded manpower changes
• Secure

• Bad
• Old
• Doesnt talk to personnel systems
• Poor querying capability
• Poor report capability
• Signaling

18
Strengths and WeaknessesTMMCA

• Good
• Allows better querying ability than TFMMS
• PC basedportable
• Easy to usewindows GUI vs. 3270

• Bad
• Download of DW so query is not real time
• Unclass but access of Class DWsecurity?
• Doesnt Data Mine.

19
Strengths and WeaknessesNMRS

• Good
• Allows large of calculations in short time
• Can explore many solutions
• Dont have to complete Req. process to see
  endstate

• Bad
• Doesnt talk to TFMMS
• Gives fractional solns
• Soln is completely unconstrained\
• Not portable
