Abstract
In an earlier paper (Bartholomew (1977)) the problem of maintaining a grade (or age) structure by controlling the recruitment flows was discussed. Here we carry out a parallel analysis for the case where control is by promotion. We show how to calculate the probability that a structure can be maintained and investigate the performance of several strategies for keeping a structure as near as possible to that desired. As before, the results demonstrate the limitations of a deterministic analysis of the problem.
