Prospective control in an enhanced manpower planning model

Effects of Prioritized Input on Human Resource Control in Departmentalized Markov Manpower Framework

“…These factors include situations where skilled manpower is unavailable for hiring when needed and various incentive programme within the European Union aimed at supporting manpower development. Following the work by Georgiou and Tsantas ( 2002 ), Dimitriou and Tsantas ( 2009 ) built a Markov chain model, called the Generalized Augmented Mobility Model (GAMM), for a manpower system having two internal classes and an external class. Their internal classes are called the active class and the training class.…”

An extended Markov-switching model approach to modelling latent heterogeneity in departmentalized manpower systems

“…The use of statistical techniques and models in studying manpower systems has been on for decades and arises mainly from the fact that human behaviour is highly unpredictable, and a manpower system is made up of aggregates of these variable units which assume probabilistic patterns (Bartholomew et al, 1991;McClean, 1991;Dimitriou and Tsantas, 2009). This unpredictability of human behaviour affects manpower system personnel propensity towards internal transitions, from one category to another within the system, and also attrition from the system.…”

An extended and tractable approach on the convergence problem of the mixed push–pull manpower model

“…In practice, a mix of push and pull transitions might occur in the same personnel system. Therefore, Georgiou and Tsantas [22] introduced a hybrid model, which was further developed by Dimitriou and Tsantas [23,24]. This approach allows modeling push as well as pull flows within the same personnel system.…”

“…A central issue in manpower planning research is the attainability and maintainability problem [23,[26][27][28][29][30]. For a manpower system, one of the objectives is to control the evolution of the personnel system in order to attain or maintain a desirable stock in the future.…”
