Abstract
Manpower planning for equal employment opportunity (EEO) must ensure a representation of social groups within the organization that matches their representation in the environment surrounding that organization. This paper discusses a multi-level system of goal programming models with embedded Markoff processes—a master model for evaluating corporate goals and a “coherence” model for local personnel management decisions. Both models have unique state-of-the-art features such as dual goal sets, the incorporation of flexibility options, the use of “bridge positions” and the use of piece-wise linear goal functionals in a capacitated distribution model format. A brief description of each model is given, followed by a discussion of some issues surrounding the process of goal setting and attendant issues of reporting and accountability.
