Synopsis
This evaluation is part of an overall effort to improve the Army's Hardware versus Manpower (HARDMAN) methodology for projecting manpower, personnel, and training (MPT) requirements to support new acquisitions. Several different validity tests are employed to evaluate the methodology: (1) a general examination of the basic reasonableness of the technique; (2) a reliability measure of how well other trained individuals, given the same data inputs, can derive the same answers as an already-completed test case; (3) a qualitative accuracy check based on talking to individuals who have already applied the same, or a similar, methodology; and (4) a simple measure of how accurately the methodology must predict the real world. The evaluation reveals that the methodology conforms fairly well with both the Army's MPT users' needs and other accepted manpower modeling techniques. Keywords: Manpower requirement estimation; Human resources in LCSMM; Training requirements estimation; QQPRI; Task list generation; Training costs; Training device requirements; Manpower costs; Logistics analysis.
