A Diffusion Approximation Analysis of the Supply Corps Officer Manpower System.

Abstract

A stochastic analysis of the Supply Corps officer manpower system is presented. The analysis is based on the concept of diffusion approximations. The state of a rank is represented as the superposition of the deterministic process, and a random noise variable, both of which are derived utilizing a set of formulated recursion equations. Numerical results are presented for a 3-rank system and compared against a simulation of a Markovian manpower model. (Author)
