One size does not fit all: personalized incentives in military compensation

A critical element in implementing a compensation scheme including nonmonetary incentives (NMIs) is recognizing that preferences vary widely across Service members. There are at least three sources of variability: across different population classes, across individuals within a population class, and across NMI packages for a particular individual. Surveys across different military communities, ranks, and years of Service show the difficulty of identifying any NMI that has significant value for even 50% of the active duty force. At the same time, approximately 80% of the surveyed Service members expressed a significant positive value for at least one NMI. Therefore, one-size-fits-all incentive packages will not be nearly as effective as more personalized incentive packages. The authors discuss variability in Service member NMI preferences and outline an approach to implementing personalized NMI packages in military compensation through a sealed-bid reverse auction, where Service members select individual NMIs from a “cafeteria-style” menu of options.

去调频处理中空变相位误差补偿方法

调频连续波具有较长的脉宽和较大的信号带宽,通常采用去调频的处理方式,但是,去调频的处理会引入空变的相位误差。从去调频的处理方式入手,根据发射信号相位误差缓变的特点,提出了依据发射信号相位误差模型补偿空变相位误差的方法,并在理论上对该方法进行了推导。该补偿方法分为两步,从差频信号中去除发射信号相位误差,在残余视频相位误差校正之后,通过与补偿函数相乘去除剩余的相位误差。仿真和实测的实验结果表明,该方法能够克服目标距离的限制,有效地补偿空变相位误差带来的影响,提高脉压水平。提出的误差补偿方法能够很好地平衡系统负载、误差补偿精度和算法开销,具有较强实用性。

Analysis of a machine repair problem with an unreliable server and phase type repairs and services

In this paper we study a machine repair problem in which a single unreliable server maintains N identical machines. The breakdown times of the machines are assumed to follow an exponential distribution. The server is subject to failure and the failure times are exponentially distributed. The repair times of the machine and the service times of the repairman are assumed to be of phase type. Using matrix‐analytic methods, we perform steady state analysis of this model. The time spent by a failed machine in service and the total time in the repair facility are shown to be of phase type. Several performance measures are evaluated. An optimization problem to determine the number of machines to be assigned to the server that will maximize the expected total profit per unit time is discussed. An illustrative numerical example is presented. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Naval Research Logistics 50: 462–480, 2003
