Manpower Planning and Presentation

You have to discuss the actual manpower required section-wise with the section heads or plant head. After collecting data, list out a statement that includes manpower required, available manpower, shortage, or excess, etc. The same method should be followed in determining staff strength as well. If you have an engineering department, let them complete the task and make the decision after conducting a time study.

Then you can balance by recruiting personnel in case of a shortage, and in the case of excess, you can decide whether they can be offered VRS.

Preparing the data alone will not satisfy the management; you have to convince the management with your data. To achieve this:

1. Accumulate your data in an easily readable format. Excel is more flexible for the same.
2. Use graphs to represent your data.
3. Try to relate your data to past events.
4. Always support your points with numbers.
5. End the report with your suggestions and remarks.
6. Ensure the report is balanced to effectively convince the management with your decisions.
