Description
Summary:The literature has recorded many models dealing with manpower (human resources) forecasting and planning. The approaches used by the various authors are clearly disparate. This paper offers an attempt at synthesis (a taxonomy) for manpower planning and forecasting methodologies as a means toward integrative reviews of a rather disjoint literature. Some of the landmark developments in this field are classified to illustrate both the robustness and the parsimony of the proposed taxonomy. The taxonomy is based on the various methods and decision factors invoked in the literature. It allows for the most complex model structure containing all those factors considered germane.
