Some IF / THEN Rules

Akshay / Rohit :

While going through my old notes , I came across my following , early stage “ criteria “ for deciding :

“ Shall I add this name / resume to our candidate database or reject it ? “

Reproduced below ( for whatever these thoughts are worth today )

===========================================

27  April  1990 ( 12 days after launch of 3P )

Criteria for FIRST STAGE ( from Company Annual Reports ) disqualification :

·         Over age / Superannuated ( > 58 years )

·         Underqualified    ( < Graduate )

·         Very Slow Growth

Very advanced age but very junior in hierarchy ( eg: Only an “ Asst Manager “ at age of 50 )

·         Rarely in demand

Eg: Medical Officer / Legal Officer / Security Officer

·         Non-technical / Non-professional

Eg: Secretary / PA / Executive Assistant

·         Very Senior Position

Eg: Chairman / MD / President

·         “ Owner “ of the Firm , OR , a member of holding FAMILY

Eg: “ Singhania S R ( M D ) of LML

·         Female

A woman is less likely to shift ( unless husband shifts )

Foreign Technician ( Collaborator’s man )

Expert System on “ PROGRESSION “

·         Hold one “ attribute “ as CONSTANT and thereafter , “ plot “  the  “ range “ of other attributes

Eg:

Take Industry as “ Automotive “

Then sort all “ General Managers “ ( Designation as a CONSTANT attribute )

Thereafter , prepare ( re-group / re-sort / re-arrange ) , several distinct lists of ALL these GMs, in the descending order of :

#    Age

#    Experience ( total )

#    Compensation

#    Edu Qualification

Program should provide for “ Sub Grouping “ ,  “ function wise “,

Eg:

A.1…All GM – Mfg / Operation / Production

A.2…All GM – Mkt / Sales / Service

A.3…All GM – Finance

A.4…All GM – Personnel / Administration

Next , pick all managers in same “ AGE GROUP “ ( say 45 – 50 ) – of course , in the SAME Industry – and re-arrange in descending order of :

#   Compensation

#   Designation

#   Experience

#   Edu Qualification….etc

Take an Industry ( eg: Automotive )

Pick a function ( eg; Manufacturing / Production ),

Then prepare “ Short lists “ of,

·         All VPs

·         All GMs

·         All DGMs

·         All  Mgrs

·         All  Asst Mgrs…etc

 In the descending order of :

Either “ Age “ or “ Compensation “
