A goal-programming model for Turkish Army promotion and manpower planning system
(2000) Çandar, B Olcayto
In the Turkish Army, officers are promoted to a higher rank automatically after they complete the period specified for their ranks. Currently, the number of officers on duty is sufficient to fill approximately 70 % of the available positions in the army. This shows the gap between personnel availability and requirements in the land forces at present. It is the main reason why automatic promotion procedures are practised in which no consideration is given to the individual performance of the officers when they are promoted. In this thesis, an alternative system is proposed with the purpose of incorporating performance criteria in to the promotion process. This system is developed and analyzed for tank officers only, as a first stage. The feasibility of a system, which allows some individual officers to stay in the same rank longer than some normal duration if they do not meet certain performance criteria, is tested using a goalprogramming model.

Modeling the officer recruitment and manpower planning process in Turkish land forces
(2001) Pekmezci, Arz
The objective of this study is to improve the Turkish Land Forces officer accessions and manpower planning process. A model for planning officer accessions to Turkish Land Forces from sources that have different characteristics is presented. This model takes into account factors such as attritions, involuntary retirements, promotions and transitions to determine the impact of existing policies over the long term and to determine adjustments that might be required to reach authorized strength goals. The annual supply of accessions necessary to meet the strength goal with minimum deviations is determined. This manpower planning model is created using the modeling software GAMS.
