Abstract
In chapter 3 we argued that Markov models can serve as a suitable basis for a manpower planning system. When applying such models, it is possible to evaluate the impact of alternative policies on the evolution of manpower size and distribution by changing transition fractions and/or recruitment. We also listed some practical conditions that a manpower planning system should satisfy. In this chapter we present an interactive manpower planning system based on a Markov model that satisfies these conditions. This planning system is called FORMASY, which stands for: FOrecasting and Recruitment in a MAnpower SYstem.
