Abstract--- It is a common phenomenon that some
personnel leave an organization after completing a certain
period of services to that organization voluntarily or
involuntarily due to death, retirement or termination. It
usually happen that whenever the policy decisions regarding
promotion and target of work or sales to be achieved are
revised, then, there will be exit of personnel, which in other
words called the attrition or wastage. In any organization
like marketing, industrial, software, the depletion of
manpower due to policy decisions is quite common. This
results in manpower attrition and then recruitment becomesnecessary. Frequent recruitment is not advisable due to the
cost of the same. Hence recruitment is postponed till a point
called the breakdown point of total depletion beyond which
the normal activities cannot be continued due to shortage of
manpower. This level of allowable manpower attrition is
called threshold. In this paper a Stochastic model to
determine expected time to recruitment with three sources of
depletion of manpower attrition under correlated interarrival
times has been derived. It provides the optimal solution
because; it takes into consideration the cost of frequent
recruitments, depletion of manpower and the cost of shortage
of manpower. The Stochastic model discussed in the paper is
not only applicable to industry as a whole but also in a widercontext of other applicable areas.

I. I NTRODUCTION
N any organization it usually happens that whenever the
policy decisions regarding pay, perquisites, promotion and
targets of work or sales to be achieved are revised then therewill be exit of personnel, which in other words is called the
wastage. The concept of wastage is dealt in details by
Barthlomew (1982). In the case of wastages has following i.i.drandom variables and the threshold level of wastage being arandom variable, the expected time to recruitment has already
been derived by Sathiyamoorthi and Elangovan (1998). It is a
common phenomenon that some personnel leave an

organization after completing a certain period of services to
that organization voluntarily or involuntarily due to death,retirement or termination. It usually happen that whenever the
policy decisions regarding promotion and target of work or
sales to be achieved are revised, then, there will be exit of
personnel, which in other words called the attrition or wastage.
In any organization like marketing, industrial, software, thedepletion of manpower due to policy decisions is quite
common. This results in manpower attrition and then
recruitment becomes necessary. Frequent recruitment is not
advisable due to the cost of the same. Hence recruitment is postponed till a point called the breakdown point of total
depletion beyond which the normal activities cannot be
continued due to shortage of manpower. This level ofallowable manpower attrition is called threshold. In this
Chapter a Stochastic model to determine expected time to
recruitment with three sources of depletion of manpower
attrition under correlated interarrival times has been derivedusing the result of Gurland (1955) and Esary et al., (1973).
Some quite interesting results cited in the recent literature by
Arulpavai and Elangovan (2012, 2013). It provides the
optimal solution because; it takes into consideration the cost offrequent recruitments, depletion of manpower and the cost of
shortage of manpower. The Stochastic model discussed in theChapter is not only applicable to industry as a whole but alsoin a wider context of other applicable areas.
II. ASSUMPTION
• The depletion of manpower occurs whenever the
policy decisions are announced.
• The interarrival times between decision epochs are
random variables are constantly correlated and
exchangeable but not independent.
• The depletion of manpower also occurs due to transferof personnel and the interarrival times between
successive epochs of transfer are i.i.d. random
variables having exponential distribution with parameter λ.
• The total depletion due to the above three assumptions
crosses the threshold which itself is a random variable,
recruitment becomes necessary.
• The three types of depletion are linear and additive.

III. NOTATIONS
i. Xi - a continuous random variable representing the
amount of depletion of man hours due to the ith epoch
of policy decisions having exponential distribution
with parameter α.
• Y j – a continuous random variable representing the
amount of depletion of man hours due to the jth event
of transfer of personnel having exponential
distribution with parameter µ.• Zn – a continuous random variable representing the
amount of depletion of man hours due to the nth event
of transfer of personnel having with exponential
distribution parameter is denoted as η.
• h – Probability density function of Xi, k – Probabilitydensity function of Yi and m – Probability density
function of Zn
• Ui – Random variable denoting the interarrival times between the successive decision epochs. The ui’s are
constantly correlated with exponential distributionwith parameter a.
• V j – Random variable representing the interarrival
times between the successive epochs of transfer. vj’sare i.i.d. random variable with exponential distribution
with parameter λ.
• Wn –Random variable representing the interarrival
times between the successive epochs of transfer of nth
event with parameter β.

• L(t) = P(T < t) =c.d.f of the time to recruitment of thesystem.
• S(t) = Survivor function P(T > t)
•
L*(S) = Laplace transform of L(t), h*(.) = Laplacetransform of h(.), k*(.)=
• Laplace transform of k(.) and p*(.) = Laplace
transform of p(.)
• f(.) = p.d.f. of ui, g(.) = p.d.f. of vi and s(.) = p.d.f. of
wn.The probability that the total depletion of manpower on
”m” occasions of decision making and ”n” and “q” occasions
of transfer of personnel does not exceed the threshold level is

VI. CONCLUSION
The models discussed in this paper, indicate how the real
life situations which may arise in the management of
manpower planning. The conceptualizations of mathematical
and stochastic model help the process of finding the optimalsolutions and also the implementation of the same. However it
is very important to identify the appropriate probability
distribution that would portray the realities. The identification
appropriate distribution is an important step. Hence the surveymethod can help the identification of such distribution. The
tests for goodness of fit of such distribution are real life data is
an important procedure. Once this is taken care of then themodels can be used in solving real life problems. Also many
of inventory models of practical use can be suitably
incorporated as model for future research.
