INTRODUCTION
The success of an organisation depends largely on the quantity and quality of its human resources. No organization can be successful in the long run without having the right kind of people doing the right jobs at the right time. Procurement of the right kind and right number of personnel is the first OPERATIVE function of HRM. Human resource management begins with Human Resource Planning/ Manpower Planning.
5
HRP / MPP
Human resource planning is defined as the process by which management determines how an organization should move from its current manpower position to its desired manpower position. HRP is the process of determining manpower needs and formulating plans to meet these needs. HRP is a forward looking function. It tries to assess human resource requirements in advance keeping the production schedules, market fluctuations, demand forecasts etc. in the background.
6
In the words of Stainer, Manpower planning is the strategy for acquisition, utilization, improvement and preservation of an organizations human resources. It is aimed at coordinating the requirements for and the availability of different types of employees. Human resource plans are made for varying time periods, i.e., short term plans covering a time frame of 2 years and long term plans encompassing a period of 5 or more years.

HR Planning Issues
Staffing Questions:
How do we manage staffing in times of recession or expansion? What impact does technology change, mergers or relocation have on staffing issues? Do we always have the right people in the right jobs at the right time? How do we get our human resources: buy them or make them or both?

Forecasting HR Requirements
Estimate of numbers and kinds of employees the organization will need at future dates. Demand for firms goods or services must be forecast. Forecast is then converted into people requirements( Judgement method, Markov analysis, replacement chart, skill inventory, experts forecast).
14
Others
1. Managerial Judgment- managers sit together, discuss, and arrive at a figure which would be the future demand for labour. The technique may involve a bottom-up or a top-down approach. 2. Ratio-trend Analysis- the technique involves studying past ratios like between the number of workers and sales in an organisation and forecasting future ratios making some allowances for changes in the organization or its methods.
16
3.Work Study Techniques this technique can be used when it is possible to apply work measurement to calculate the length of operations and the amount of labor required. Allowance will have to be made for absenteeism and idle time. 4. Delphi Technique it solicits estimates of personnel needs from a group of experts, usually managers. The HRP experts act as intermediaries.
17
5. Flow Models the simplest one is Markov model. Determine the time that should be covered. Establish categories, also called states, to which employees can be assigned. Count annual movements (flows) among states for several time periods. Estimate the probability of transition from one state to another.
18
Forecasting HR Availability/Supply
Determining whether the firm will be able to secure employees with the necessary skills, and from what sources these individuals may be obtained. Show whether the needed employees may be obtained from within the company, from outside the organization, or from a combination of the two sources.
19
HR Supply Forecast

Supply forecast
21
22
2. Internal sources of supply the techniques used are: a) Inflows and Outflows Sources of inflows are transfers and promotions, and the sources of outflows are resignation, discharge, demotion, retirement, and promotion.
23
25
3. External Supply the reasons are new blood and new experience, organizational personnel need, growth and diversification
26
Comparing requirements and availability will lead to HR programming, HRP implementation and control and evaluation of program leading to either surplus or shortage of staff. HR Programming
Once an organizations personnel demand and supply are forecasted, the two must be reconciled or balanced in order that vacancies can be filled by the right employees at the right time.
27
HR Plan Implementation converting an HR plan into action. Recruitment, Selection, Placement Training and Development Retraining and Redeployment Retention Plan Succession Plan Control and Evaluation The HR plan should include budgets, targets and standards. It should also clarify responsibilities for implementation and control.
