“…Some of the previous results have been reviewed in (Bowey 1977;Price et al 1980;Purkiss 1981;Edwards 1983;Ernst et al 2004). The models for manpower planning can be classified into two categories (Purkiss 1981).…”

This paper presents an integrated staff-sizing system for analyzing and determining workforce management policies with consideration of staff flexibility in service organizations, which addresses and captures the integrated requirements between long-term manpower planning and short-term staff scheduling in the service sector. Multiple Objective Linear Programming (MOLP) is applied to optimize several diversified goals. Solution methods to the MOLP models for the staff planning and staff scheduling are developed respectively, then a solution approach is proposed to iteratively revise the unacceptable staff-sizing plan or scheduling plan. Finally, an example of nurse sizing is analyzed and computational studies are carried out to investigate managerial insights.

“…The above Renewal model, assumes that promotion occurs from a lower level to the next higher. A manpower system that restricts recruitment to the lowest grade was discussed in [2]. Equations of the type, Where the subscripts in x denote the desired number in each state at a given time, the variables denote the expected promotions between the states at the given time, the ′ refer to the wastage levels at the given state and time while h(t) refers to new employees were obtained.…”

“…The discussion was restricted to systems where promotions take place from a lower level to the next higher level. Apart from [1], [2], [3], [4] and [5], all the other works mentioned earlier are based on the principle of push flow. In systems that operate according to push principles, promotion may occur when there is no vacancy in the system.…”

“…Models that are based on the Renewal theory are good examples of models that make use of the pull principle. The application of the Renewal model as discussed in [2] is limited to systems where promotions take place from a lower level to the next higher level. A two-stage Renewal process is a Renewal process with two states (stages) in which vacancies created in the second state is filled by moving units from the first state.…”

“…The expectations and variances of the flows, recruitments and some other important variables were obtained. Earlier authors such as [1] and [2] have defined promotion and recruitment as expectation and concentrated on the prediction and control of grade sizes in manpower systems with single jump processes. They have also assumed that the wastage probability in each grade is constant but here such an assumption is not necessary.…”

Abstract:The use of the Renewal approach for the prediction of flows, entries and grade sizes as well as for control in systems where movement is restricted only to, the next higher level has been studied by many; promotions and recruitments were defined as expected numbers rather random numbers whereas, in reality, promotions and recruitments are often random variables. Few works on Renewal approach for a manpower system with double jump have assumed that promotion and recruitment are expected numbers. In the present work, we define promotions and recruitments as random variables and obtain their expectations and variances in a manpower system with single and double jumps.
