Markov Chain Method in Calculation of Personnel Recruitment Needs

Abstract

The selection of military personnel through the recruitment stage must be under planning. The calculation in this study uses the Markov Chain method with an error calculation which is the result of a comparison with the conditions of the number of recruits in the previous period so that the error value is known and can be used in the next period using a computerized system. This study provides an alternative to determining the error value in predicting the number of recruits more easily and based on previous data by considering various aspects, such as rank, expertise, and job criteria required.
