Abstract
We present a model for manpower planning which describes the dependence between stocks, flows and age distributions. An unbalanced age distribution results in the following conflict: either a recruitment is chosen which produces minimal deviations from a given stock. Then the unbalanced age distribution will be reproduced. Or a recruitment is selected which produces a balanced age distribution, but then oscillations of the stock will occur until a stationary age distribution will be reached. A mixture of these two recruitment policies is possible.
Zusammenfassung
Das vorliegende Personalplanungsmodell beschreibt den Zusammenhang zwischen Beständen, Personalflüssen und Altersstrukturen. Eine unausgewogene Altersverteilung des Personalbestandes führt zu einem Zielkonflikt: Entweder werden Einstellungen so vorgenommen, daß Abweichungen von einem stabilen Soll-Bestand minimal werden, dann aber bleibt die Altersverteilung unausgewogen. Oder Einstellungen werden so gewählt, daß eine stabile Altersstruktur erreicht wird, dann aber schwankt der Gesamtbestand, bis eine stabile Altersverteilung erreicht wird. Mischungen zwischen diesen Einstellungsstrategien sind möglich.
