A Manpower Planning Model for the Composition of Officers of the Indonesian Army Personnel System

Abstract

This thesis documents the methodology and parameters used in designing a manpower planning model using the Grade/Time-in-Grade model for controlling the composition of Indonesian Army officers. This model of a manpower system consists of a two-dimensional state space Markov Model with special structure. The model provides manpower planners with the capability of testing alternative policies and adjusting model parameters to improve the use of personnel resources that are from three sources (Military Academy, Officer Military School, Officer Candidate School). Use of the model is illustrated in a detailed analysis of its application to Indonesian Army officers in steady-state. The calculations of stocks, time in grade or time in military, and promotion rate for every rank are included as the model's output. The thesis is presented with the user in mind, emphasizing the importance of a thorough understanding of the factors that influence planning in manpower system.
