Labour is one of the key resources in any institution that if managed well can lead to
increased productivity. Regular evaluation of existing structures and policies is necessary to
avoid wastage and stagnation.
Alot of work has been done in analysis of manpower systems using Markov models and
other models such as computer simulation models,optimization models,supply chain models
and colonic models. In this study Markov chain theory has been integrated with network
theory in evaluating effective administration of the current schemes of service for teachers by
the Teachers Service Commission. The growth and development of the teacher progression
system has also been assessed.
