Abstract

Manpower planning is the process by which an organization ensures getting the right number and right kind of people, at right place, at right time, capable of effectively and efficiently completing those tasks, that will help the organization to achieve its overall objectives. Manpower planning has always been the crucial part of all the industries as it helps in performing the managerial functions in the organization. It  also helps in effective utilization of manpower, motivates the employees to perform their jobs well and  stabilizes human relations in an organization. This research deals with certain factors or variables like periodic and realistic manpower needs, staff costs, optimum productivity and overall growth for the optimization of the manpower in the organization. In the present study, manpower planning optimization in the Haryana Roadways, has been analysed. The focus of this study has been on the lower level of management of this transportation industry, i.e., the level below the general managers. It includes: works manager, traffic manager, store purchase officer, accounts officer, superintendent and assistant district attorney. The periodic and realistic manpower needs have been determined, measures have been taken to regulate the staff cost to ensure optimum productivity and overall growth of the organization. And finally a model has been developed for the optimum utilization of the manpower recruited.
