摘要
Manpower planning models rarely incorporate effects of learning on production capacity. Here those effects are explored through some models. First, we discuss a discrete-time model in which capacity is maintained at a desired level through appropriate recruitment and layoffs. Then we propose a related continuous-time partial differential equation model, and derive the recruitment rate level which will maintain capacity. Some examples are provided. © 1990.
