Reading list [PS-1] Transition Analysis ~ Transition Analysis for the Ascend Sports Equipment (ASE) Company ASE sells sports clothing and equipment for amateur, light sport (running, tennis, walking, swimming, badminton, and golf) enthusiasts. It is the only company in the nation that does this on a door-to-door basis, seeking to bypass the retail sporting goods store and sell directly to the customer. Its sales people have sales kits that include both sample products, as well as a full- line catalogue it can use to show and discuss with customers. The sales function is composed of full-time and part-time sales people (level 1), assistant sales managers (level 2), and regional sales managers (level 3). ASE has decided to study the internal movement patterns of people in the sales function, as well as to forecast their likely availabilities in future time periods. Results will be used to help identify staffing gaps (surpluses and shortages), and to develop staffing strategy and plans for future growth. To do this, the HR department first collected data for 2018 to construct a transition probability matrix, as well as the number of employees in each job at the end of in 2018 in each job category. The average transition rates for 2018 are in the matrix as the expected transition rates for 2020. It then wanted to use the matrix to forecast the numbers of employees expected to be available in each job category at the end of 2020. There is no change in the required number of employees for each job between 2018 and 2020. The following data were gathered: The Transition Probabilities for 2018 are the Expected Transition Rates for 2020. 2020 Number of Employees Job Category Level SF SP ASM RSM Exit Sales, Full-time (SF) 50 .10 05 00 35 500 Sales, Part-time (SP) 1 60 ,10 00 20 150 20 18 Ass't.
