In this paper, expressions for the transition probability functions and the first two moments of the duration of stay are derived for a Markovian manpower system in which recruits can join from any grade. The underlying model is a time-homogeneous Markov process. The results are illustrated using data for a five-grade university manpower system. The estimates are found to be reasonable. - Reproduced
