Application of SCBZ Property In Manpower Planning Model

Abstract

The exit of personnel which otherwise known as wastage leads to the depletion of manpower available with the organization. Recruitments could not be initiated immediately after every occasion of exit of personnel since it involves expenditure. If recruits are not made after exit of the personnel, the accumulating shortage of personnel on successive occasions when exceeds a particular level called the threshold level, results in the breakdown of the organization. This in turn makes the recruitments imperative. In this paper assuming that the threshold level is random variable in view of the dynamic nature of the market condition. It satisfies the Setting the Clock Back to Zero (SCBZ) property introduced by [3]. Using the shock model and Cumulative Damage Process (CDP) ofreliability theory the expected duration of the breakdown of the organization is obtained under the assumption that the threshold posses the SCBZ, the expected time to recruitment is obtained using shock model approach.
