Abstract

Study of different types of manpower planning models in different organizations are very much useful for proper planning and implementation of different objectives. These types of studies are generally solved by deterministic way in previously. Some scientists have addressed these problems in stochastically and based on age of employee. The present work is an attempt to develop a probabilistics manpower planning model under the setup where the classes are varying sizes and promotion occurs only on the basis of length of service of employee not age.
