typeof peoplein theright number.

DEFINITION OF HRP
• It includes the estimation of how
many qualified peoplearenecessary to
carry out the assigned activities, how
many people will be available, and
what, if anything, must be done to
ensure that personal supply equals
personnel demand at the appropriate
point in thefuture.
Basically it’s the process by which an
organization ensures that it has the right
number & kind of people, at the right
place, at the right time, capable of
effectively & efficiently completing
thosetasksthat will help theorganisation
achieveitsoverall objectives.
Process of HRP
1. Analysing Organizational
Objectives:
The objective to be achieved in future in
various fields such as production,
marketing, finance, expansion and
sales gives the idea about the work to
be done in the organization.
2. Inventory of Present Human
Resources:
From the updated human resource
information storage sys­tem, the current
number of employees, their capacity,
perfor­mance and potential can be
analysed
To fill the various job requirements, the
internal sources (i.e., employees from
within the organization) and external
sources (i.e., candidates from various
placement agencies) can be estimated.
3. Forecasting Demand and Supply
of Human Resource:
The human resources required at
different positions according to their job
profile are to be estimated. The available
internal and external sources to fulfill
those requirements are also measured.
4. Estimating Manpower Gaps:
Comparison of human resource demand
and human resource supply will provide
with the surplus or deficit of human
resource. 
5. Formulating the Human
Resource Action Plan:
The human resource plan depends on
whether there is deficit or surplus in the
organization. Accord­ingly, the plan may
be finalized either for new recruitment,
training, interdepartmental transfer in
case of deficit of termination, or
voluntary retirement schemes and
redeployment in case of surplus.
6. Monitoring, Control and
Feedback:
It mainly involves implementation of the
human resource action plan. Human
resources are allocated according to the
requirements, and inventories are
updated over a period. The plan is
monitored strictly to identify the
deficiencies and remove it.
Comparison between the human
resource plan and its actual
implementation is done to ensure the
appropriate action and the availability
of the required number of employees
for various jobs.
