Optimal Design of a Manpower System.

Abstract

An equilibrium model of a manpower system is developed based on the notion of a career flow. Institutional constraints and measures of system performance are linear functions of the career flow. A typical optimal design problem is formulated and a solution procedure is developed. The optimization problem is a generalized linear program in which columns are generated by solving a shortest path problem. Upper and lower bounds on the optimal value function can be developed at each stage of the calculations. (Author)
