Structural Control in a Graded Manpower System

Author

    (University of Kent at Canterbury, England)

Abstract

Control is exercised on the parameters of a Markov chain model for a graded manpower system, and the effects on the structure of the system are examined. Questions of attainability and maintainability of structures are discussed for both fixed size and expanding systems. Examples are presented to illustrate the theory.
