Book Synopsis Defense Downsizing: An Evaluation of Alternative Voluntary Separation Payments to Military Personnel by :
Download or read book Defense Downsizing: An Evaluation of Alternative Voluntary Separation Payments to Military Personnel written by and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Changes in the military threats to the United States have radically altered the assumptions underpinning our defense policy, leading to a reexamination of the required size and mix of military forces. The size of military forces had been predicated on a NATO scenario based on the combined threat from the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact. However, the collapse of this threat allows the United States to maintain a smaller military force. Downsizing our military forces began in PY92 and is scheduled to continue through at least FY99. This report presents analysis, conducted at the beginning of this drawdown, evaluating alternative strategies for achieving personnel reductions, including alternative voluntary separation offers and their utility in achieving the required reductions in personnel end- strength. Specifically, it first addresses the question of what part of the reductions should come from lowered accession levels and what part from increased separations of personnel currently in the service. It then addresses the process of how to structure separation offers to get both the number and type of desired departures as cost effectively as possible. It identifies the criteria that any separation plan should meet, evaluates proposed plans in terms of the cost to the government and perceived worth to the individual, and develops an analytic framework that the services could use as a tool to structure separation offers. The framework provides a way to estimate acceptance rates for various plans and to identify specific groups to achieve those rates.

Book Synopsis Defense Downsizing by : David Waltz Grissmer
Download or read book Defense Downsizing written by David Waltz Grissmer and published by RAND Corporation. This book was released on 1995 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report documents RAND's research effort on one aspect of the personnel drawdown--how to structure voluntary separation offers to service members to efficiently meet force-reduction objectives. This research was carried out before development of the voluntary separation programs initiated between 1992 and 1994 and was instrumental in shaping them. The authors address the question of what part of the reductions should come from lowered accession levels and what part from increased separations of personnel currently in the service. They identify the criteria that any separation plan should meet and develop a methodology for estimating the acceptance rate of voluntary separation offers. They apply this methodology to evaluate a range of such offers and then address the process of how to structure separation offers to get both the number and type of desired departures as cost effectively as possible. Finally they address questions concerning the financing of such offers by estimating the savings from reduced retirement outlays.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The commercial aviation industry is a major part of the U.S. transportation infrastructure and a key contributor to the nation's economy.

At the same time, it is facing the challenges of a changing American workforce.

Book Synopsis Downsizing the Federal Government by : Chris Edwards
Download or read book Downsizing the Federal Government written by Chris Edwards and published by Cato Institute. This book was released on 2005-11-25 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The federal government is running huge budget deficits, spending too much, and heading toward a financial crisis. Federal spending soared under President George W. Bush, and the costs of programs for the elderly are set to balloon in coming years. Hurricane Katrina has made the federal budget situation even more desperate. In Downsizing the Federal Government Cato Institute budget expert Chris Edwards provides policymakers with solutions to the growing federal budget mess. Edwards identifies more than 100 federal programs that should be terminated, transferred to the states, or privatized in order to balance the budget and save hundreds of billions of dollars. Edwards proposes a balanced reform package of cuts to entitlements, domestic programs, and excess defense spending. He argues that these cuts would not only eliminate the deficit, but also strengthen the economy, enlarge personal freedom, and leave a positive fiscal legacy for the next generation. Downsizing the Federal Government discusses the systematic causes of wasteful spending, and it overflows with examples of federal programs that are obsolete and mismanaged. The book examines the budget process and shows how policymakers act contrary to the interests of average Americans by favoring special interests.
Book Synopsis Downsizing the Federal Government: Management of Public Sector Workforce Reductions by : David M Jones
Download or read book Downsizing the Federal Government: Management of Public Sector Workforce Reductions written by David M Jones and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-01 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main focus of downsizing has shifted from the private to the public sector. The cutbacks began in the Department of Defense. Now the goal is a federal civilian workforce reduction of 12 percent by the year 2000. This pioneering study looks at the management of workforce reductions in the public sector both in theory and in practice. Three case studies -- of the Defense Logistics Agency, the Bureau of Reclamation, and the Food and Drug Administration -- illustrate the organizational, managerial, and human dimensions of attempting to improve performance with reduced resources. The author draws on extensive interviews with senior executives and middle managers in the three agencies; at the General Accounting Office, the Office of Personnel Management, and the National Performance Review; the Senior Executives Association and the Federal Managers Association; and scholars and researchers. In a larger sense, this work pushes the boundaries of knowledge concerning organizational change and makes a significant contribution to organization theory. It offers important new insights not only for public sector managers but for organization theorists and management specialists whose work on downsizing has been presumed but not shown to be applicable to the public sector.
