A Position Data Analysis Job Aid-l (PDAT-JA-1) software
TAADS analysis tool has been developed which will be installed at
the first Personnel Proponent office (at the Signal Branch) in
December. It automates manipulation of the TAADS data base and
provides analysis tools. A place holder is in the program for
the PMAD data base when it becomes available in the form needed
for our purposes. The PDAT-JA-1 outputs are:
* Quantitative summaries of MOS authorization for each
grade level by: grand total, ASI, Skill Qualification Identifier _,
(SQI), major command (MACOM), tables of organization and
equipment (TOE), tables of distribution and allowances (TDA),
continental United States (CONUS), and outside CONUS (OCONUS);
* Deviations from the Average Grade Distribution matrix:
Deviations from criteria regarding:
(SIMO:), gender, ASIs, and SQIs;
space imbalanced MOS
* Development of an acceptable grade structure; and
* (When PMAD program implemented) Identification of TAADS
and PMAD mismatches by unit identification code and grade.
The development of an acceptable grade structure is enabled
through the provision of work sheets which allow the analyst to
create modified TAADSs (the original data base always remains
intact). Each modified TAADS can then run to produce the first
three outputs above until an acceptable grade structure is
realized.
