Abstract
The detailed method of optimal regions is an extended form of the method of optimal regions which has been found effective in solving the personnel classification problem when the number of job categories is small. The automatic determination of the successive values of the vi, made possible by the more exact techniques of the detailed method, provide easier solutions for the more complex problems and provide solutions, which, for the most part, can be mechanized. In a sense the detailed method of optimal regions is more than a detailed form of the method of optimal regions. It is essentially a method of transformations by which the original matrix is reduced to a matrix from which the solution is easily obtained.
