An Application of Markovian Chains in Manpower Planning.
Abstract
This thesis investigates the long run implications of short term policy making decisions. Manpower modeling techniques based on Markovian chains are applied to a small fast growing Navy organization. An interactive model is designed here to simulate policy changes and illustrate the interaction between flows, promotions and stocks, relative to a stable set of policy parameters over a period of time. Training and budget planning are addressed in some detail with a focus of the civilian population within the organization. Because real data is not available, the numerical examples are based on hypothetical data. The examples are presented to give the reader a feeling for how the model simulates various policy alternatives. (Author)
