CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY:
Manpower planning and development is the first and the
most important function of management. The essence of manpower planning
and development involves a critical analysis of the supply, demand,
surplus, shortage and utilization of human resources. It is important to
note that manpower planning is often taken as the most important
resources of an organization because through it, other resources
(material and financial) are harnessed to meet the need of man.
The economic development of a country depends on the quality and
quantity of its resources, the state of technology and efficient
deployment of resources in both production and consumption process.
Most organizations today is facing problems because they did not plan
for their workforce neither do they have any systematic human resources
management programs that consider organizational goals.
Planning is the first and most important function of management. The
essence is to prepare for and predict future events. Planning goes
beyond attempting to attain stated organizational objectives. It
involves the
development of strategy and procedures required for effective realization of the entire plan.
One of the major problems confronting management in any organization is
the most effective way of matching people with jobs. The process by
which management attempt to provide for the human resources or manpower
to accomplish its task is called “manpower planning”.
The concept of manpower planning has been given different definition by
different authors. Malthus and Jackson (1992) see manpower planning as
the process of analyzing and identifying the need for the availability
of human resources so that the organization can meet its human resources
objectives.
Griffin (1997) sees human resources planning as a plan which involves
accessing trends, forecasting the supply, demand for labour and the
development of appropriate strategy for addressing any differences.
Ehegbunna (1992), sees manpower planning as having the right person in
the right number, in the right place and at the right time.
Olutola (1986), when manpower planning is mentioned, it generally refers
to the projection of future requirement for a given number of people
with specific skill to meet the demand of various sector of the economy.
Ogunniyi (1992), in handling manpower planning said that it is a concept
that involves critical analysis of supply, demand, surplus, shortage,
wastage, and utilization of human resources.
Manpower planning is necessary in all organization because it is
required for recruitment. Without it, it would be difficult to know the
number of personnel’s required for recruitment.
Manpower planning and development helps measurement to determine:
(a) Number of employees
(b) The level of experience each must possess
(c) Their salary scale
(d) The best way to utilize them in an activity which practice increase skills.
Star Paper Mill Ltd was incorporated as a paper connoting company in
1997. Now, the company operates thru (3) factories which includes
stationary plant at Umungasi (Aba); the recycling and conversion plant
at Owerrinta and the Ibadan conversion plant. It also has liaison
offices in Lagos, Ibadan, Kaduna, Kano, Suleja and Onitsha.
The premier plant located at Aba, produces school exercise books of
different types and a wide range of stationary. It has an installed
capacity of
25,000 metric tones per annum which translates into 38 million envelops
of various sizes and colours. Other products include typing sheets,
duplication papers and fullscap files. The cement percentage utilization
is about 75 percent.
The second factory was commissioned in 1984 as a waste paper recycling
plant, with an installed capacity of 10 metric tones of tissues paper in
jumbo reels per day. By 1992 a new paper machine was installed with the
capacity of 15 metric tones of tissues paper per day, presently, the
Owerrinta plant has a total capacity of 60 metric tones per day. This
paper utilizes waste paper and paper off cuts as its main sources of raw
materials and that constitutes 90% both in volume and in naira value of
the plant requirement locally sourced. In this plant also exists a
toilet rolls production line which utilizes the jumbo reels as inputs
and produces 140, 000,000 units of toilet rolls, paper napkins per year.
This in effect positions the company as the largest producer of toilet
rolls and tissue products in the country, with marketing outlets
throughout the entire country. This plant just commissioned a new
product line sanitary towel for ladies with the brand name of “every
woman” becomes a new addition to the stable.

study – Star Paper Mill Ltd, Aba. It will help them know that they have
to consult the previous manpower planning and development plan before
determining whether to prepare new manpower planning and development.

as a reference source by future researchers.
Lastly, this study will also help the government in making their
manpower planning and development budget estimates on yearly bases.
1.7 SCOPE OF THE STUDY:
It will not be economically wise to regard the entire firms in Aba as
the case study of the project. Consequently, this study was limited to
Star Paper Mill Ltd, Aba Branch of the Company. In the conviction that
Aba as a main branch truly represents the firm operationally and
administratively. Thus, the information obtained was based on the
answers received from questionnaires with the staff.
1.8 LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY:
The are problems encountered by the researcher in the course of generating data for this project and they are;
(i) Secrecy of Respondents: The high rate of secrecy manifested by
respondents in releasing of information as concerns the operations of
the organizations contributed to the limitations of this study.
(ii) Ignorance: Ignorance manifested it self in this study, it was most
disappointing that even graduates who occupied responsible posts were
among the respondents that needed a lot of persuasions before they agree
to complete the questionnaires, others needed a lot of persuasions
before they agree to complete the questionnaires. Some misplaced theirs
which the researcher had to call several times at some for the
collection of the completed and had to be rejected.
(iii) Bureaucratic Red Tape: The researcher was made to call several
times at the offices of the personnel manager and company secretary for
the necessary permission. It was not an easy task for the researcher to
set what was really needed for the work. But with the help of some staff
of the company, the researcher was able to obtain the necessary
information.
(iv) Finance: Finance constraint was another problem faced by the
researcher in the course of the study. As a result of the poor state of
the economy, costs of almost everything especially transport had
increased drastically. This made the researcher encounter heavy
financial difficulties as a result of insufficient fund to meet the high
cost of stationary and printing of study involved.
(v) Time: The time frame within which this work was allowed was quite
limited for an intensive as well as extensive work to be accomplished
and so forms a constraint on the work.

effective and economical manpower and development and regulation of the
