TIME TO RECRUITMENT FOR A TWO GRADE MANPOWER SYSTEM WITH TWO SOURCES OF DEPLETION AND CORRELATED INTER-POLICY DECISIONS TIMES USING UNIVARIATE MAX POLICY OF RECRUITMENT

In this paper a two graded manpower system in which depletion occurs due to policy and transfer decisions which form respectively two independent sources of depletion is considered. A stochastic model is constructed and using a univariate Max policy of recruitment, the variance of time to recruitment is obtained when inter-policy decision times form a sequence of exchangeable and constantly correlated exponential random variables. Analytical results for the variance of the time to recruitment and other related performance measures.
