Abstract In this paper for a two grade manpower system involving optional and mandatory exponential thresholds, the analytical results for some performance measures related to time to recruitment are obtained using a univariate policy of recruitment by considering different forms of inter-decision times and loss of manpower in the system.

Keywords Two grade manpower system; loss of manpower; Univariate policy of recruitment, geometric process; Correlated random variables and Mean time to recruitment.

  1. INTRODUCTION

    In any organization, depletion of manpower is quite common whenever policy decisions are announced .Frequent recruitment to compensate this depletion is costlier and hence suitable policy decision on recruitment has to be designed. In this context, several authors have obtained performance

    two-grade system involving two thresholds by assuming different distributions for thresholds under different condition of inter-decision time and wastage. The objective of the present paper is to obtain performance measures for a two grade manpower system with exponential thresholds by considering different forms of loss of manpower and inter decision times.

  2. MODEL DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS OF MODEL I Consider an organization taking decisions at random

    epoch in (0, ) and at every decision epoch a random number

    of persons quit the organization. There is an associated loss of man-hours if a person quits. It is assumed that the loss of man-hours are linear and cumulative. Let Y1, Y2 (Z1, Z2) denotes the optional (mandatory) thresholds for the loss of man-hours in grades 1 and 2, with parameters

    measures namely mean and variance of time to recruitment using different policies of recruitment based on shock mode

    approach. Employing the univariate recruitment policy, the expected time to recruitment is obtained under different conditions for several models in [1], [2] and [3].In [5],for a single grade man-power system with a mandatory exponential threshold for the loss of manpower ,the authors have obtained the system performance measures when the inter-decision times form an order statistics .In [2] ,for a single grade manpower system, the author has considered a new recruitment policy involving two thresholds for the loss of man-power in the organization in which one is optional and the other is mandatory and obtained the mean time to recruitment under different conditions on the nature of thresholds ,inter -decision times and loss of man-hours . In [6-9] the authors have extended the results in [2] for a two- grade system according as the thresholds are exponential random variables or extended exponential random variables or SCBZ property possessing random variables or geometric random variables. In [10],the authors have obtained performance measures by assuming that the inter-decision times for the two grades form same geometric process .In [11-19], the authors have extended the results in [5] for a

    positive. It is assumed that Y1 < Z1and Y2 < Z2. Write Y = Max (Y1, Y2) and Z=Max (Z1, Z2), where Y (Z) is the optional (mandatory) threshold for the loss of man-hours in the organization. The loss of man- hours, optional and mandatory thresholds are assumed as statistically independent. Let T be the time to recruitment in the organization with cumulative distribution function L (.), probability density function l (.), mean E (T) and variance V (T). Let F k(.) be the k fold convolution of F(.). Let l*(.) and f*(.), be the Laplace transform of l (.) and f (.), respectively. Let Vk(t) be the probability that there are exactly k decision epochs in (0, t]. It is known from Renewal theory that Vk(t) = Fk(t) – Fk+1(t) with F0(t) = 1.Let p be the probability that the organization is not going for recruitment whenever the total loss of man- hours crosses optional threshold Y. The Univariate recruitment policy employed in this paper is as follows: If the total loss of man-hours exceeds the optional threshold Y, the organization may or may not go for recruitment. But if the total loss of man-hours exceeds the mandatory threshold Z, the recruitment is necessary.

    We now obtain some performance measures related to time to recruitment for different forms of wastage and inter-decision times.

    Case (i): Let Xi be the loss of man hours due to the ith decision epoch , i=1,2,3 forming a sequence of independent and

    identically distributed exponential random variables with mean

    1 (c>0), probability density function g(.),Ui are exchangeable

    c

    and constantly correlated exponential random variables denoting inter-decision time between (i-1)th and ith decision, i=1,2, 3.k. with cumulative distribution function F(.), probability density function f(.) and mean u .

VI. FINDINGS From the tables we observe the following which agree with reality

case (i) :

case (ii)

  • As increases , the mean and variance of time to recruitment increase for all the models .

  • As increases , the mean and variance of time to recruitment increase for all models when the probability density function of loss of manpower is the probability density function of first order statistics and k-th order statistics.

  • As k increases , the mean and variance of time to recruitment increase for all models when the probability density function of loss of manpower is the probability density function first order statistics and decrease when the probability density function of loss of manpower is the probability density function of k-th order statistics.
