Manpower planning with System dynamics and Business Objects

Organisations tend to be hierarchical with a finite number of levels (ranks). Humans are considered as the most crucial, volatile and potentially unpredictable resource which an organisation utilises. If an organisation fails to place and direct human resources in the right areas of the business, at the right time, and at the right cost, serious inefficiencies are likely to occur creating considerable operational difficulties or even business failure. In order to achieve this the co-ordination of demand and supply is required, together with the monitoring and assessment of productivity and technological changes. Staff moves around the organisation in a variety of movements and flows. It is clear that it is difficult to track and monitor these movements without the complexity of qualitative factors and the projection of resource mismatches.
