1. Analysis organizational plan
First of all, the objectives and strategic plans of the company are analyzed. Plans concerning technology, production, marketing, finance, expansion and diversification gave an idea about the volume of future work activity. It is also necessary to decide the time horizon for which human resource plans are to be prepared. The future organization structure and job design should be made clear and changes in the organization structure should be examined so as to anticipate its manpower requirements.

2. Forecasting demand for human resource
On the basis of corporate an functional plans and future activity levels, the future need of human resource in the organization are anticipated. The number of people and the skill levels needed in future depend on the production and sales budget in a manufacturing enterprise but the human resource requirements for a given level of operations vary depending upon the production technology, process, make or buy decision’s, job contents behaviour pattern’s and control system.

Techniques employed in man power forecasting are as follows: -

Managerial judgement
Under this method, enterprise managers estimate the man power requirements for their respective departments on the basis of their knowledge of expected future work load and employee efficiency. These departmental estimates are then aggregated and approved by top management.

Work study method
In this method time and motion study are used to analysis and measure the work being done with the help of such studies, standard time required per unit of work is decided. For example
Planned output for next year 50000
Standard hours per unit 2
Planned hours required 500002= 100000
Productive hours per worker in the year 2000
Number of worker required 100000/2000= 50

Span of control is 10, 5 (50/10) supervisor will be required.

Ratio trend analysis
Under this method, ratios are calculated on the basis of past data. Future ratios are calculated on the basis of time series analysis after making allowances for expected changes in organization methods and jobs. On the basis of established ratios, the demand for human resource is estimated. For example
Production level in 2006-07 50000
No of workers in 2006-07 50
Ratio 50:50000
No of supervisor in 2006-07 5
Ratio 5:50
Estimated production in 2008-09 60000 units
No of workers required 2008-09 600001/1000= 60
No of supervisor required in 2008-09 601/10= 6

Forecast supply of human resources
Every organization has two sources of supply of human resource internal and external. Internally, human resources can be obtained for certain posts through promotions and transfers as well as external is recruitment and selection etc.

Estimating manpower gaps
Net human resource requirement or manpower gaps can be identified by comparing demand forecast and supply forecast. Such comparison will reveal deficit or surplus of human resources in future. Deficit suggest the number of people to be recruited from outside whereas surplus implies redundant to redeployed or terminated. Gaps may be occurs in terms of knowledge and skills. It can be removed the training programme.

Action planning or control and evaluation
Once the manpower gaps are identified, plans are prepared to bridge these gaps. Plans to meet the surplus manpower may be redeployed in other departments and retrenchment. Deficit can be met through recruitment, selection, transfer’s and promotions.

Production planning and control in mass production

Production planning and control in mass production Mass production Only one type of product or maximum 2 or 3 type of products are manufactured in large quantities and much emphasis is not given to retail consumer orders. Standardization of products, processes, materials, machines, uninterrupted flow of materials are the main characteristics of this system. Example: - petrochemical industry, cement industry, steel industry, sugar industry, cigarette industry etc. Features of mass production system o It includes manufacturing of high volume standardized products. o There is a smooth flow material from one work station to another workstation. o Production time of production unit as a whole is short (i.e. because of specialization principle). o Closely spaced work station reduce material handling. o Production planning and control is simple. o Work in progress inventory is less. Production planning and control is possible under mass production only with the help of line balan

ELECTRONIC COMMERCE AND ONLINE PUBLISHING

ELECTRONIC COMMERCE AND ONLINE PUBLISHING Electronic Commerce and Online Publishing The Web may have blossomed because of peer-to-peer publishing, but judg-ing from recent product offerings, there is an enormous groundswell of in-terest among both commercial and corporate publishers in the Web.
