Keywords:
Human Resource Planning, Weaving Industry, MaruthamunaiAbstract
There are two case studies. First case is Royal Hand Loom (RHL) which has a single weaving factory. The second case is AAA Hand Loom (AAAHL) which has eight weaving factories. Research objective is to apply the Human Resource Planning Model -HRPM- for RHL and AAAHL introduced by Walker and Dyer (1980). 9 weaving factories falling in two cases have also been selected as sample size by systematic sampling method. Data were obtained using secondary data collection method via historical sales force data. A shortage of human resources of RHL would be 8 and 12 and that of AAAHL would be 103 and 182 on both individual territory base and total territory base. RHL and AAAHL can plan its action to bridge the gap identified by short term solutions like an increased overtime -OT-, hiring of temporary sale people and long term solutions like recalling, retraining and hiring of permanent sales people.
