Maintainability of manpower system with restricted recruitment

Abstract

The maintainability of a manpower system is studied under a Markov framework. The classical method of controlling only one factor of flow is extended to highlight the case in which two factors are under control simultaneously. One special case of this extension, where recruitment of units faces partial embargo, is given, which led to other important results.

KEY WORDS: Manpower structure, Maintainability, Factors of flow, Markov model Probability.
