Abstract
The fundamental development of personnel flow models was completed and extensively reported in the literature in the 1970’s. Developments since then include implementation of simple forms of these models on microcomputers. Specialized extensions have also been developed which permit analysis of “flexible” personnel flows in connection with promotion and upward mobility planning and with rapidly changing projected work loads. This paper discusses applications both of these recent developments in an analysis of anticipated large scale work force changes in U.S. Navy shipyards. These eight shipyards under the management of the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) employed approximately 76,000 workers in June 1985.
