Determination of Time to Recruitment and Recruitment Time in a Manpower System with Two Groups

Abstract

When the Manpower system of an organization is exposed to Cumulative Shortage Process due to attritions that cause manpower loss, breakdown occurs at threshold level. In this paper, I consider the Manpower System with two groups A and B. Group A consists of man- power other than top management level executives. Group B consists of top level management executives. The shortages of group A occur in accordance with the Modified Erlang process and group B has shortage process with varying shortage rates. Recruitment is done to fill all the shortages of the two groups. We find the expected time to recruit and recruitment time. Numerical illustrations are presented.
