The Manpower Planning Study Group of the Operational Research Society was formed on 16th November 1967. This paper traces the growth of manpower planning in the United Kingdom from its origins in the Second World War to the present day. It identifies a series of stages, starting with the beginnings and growing awareness of the 1950s and early 1960s, which led on to an explosive growth between 1965 and 1970, and the lengthy period of consolidation thereafter. It places on record the interest and contributions of many individuals and organizations who laid the foundations of manpower planning in this country, and review trends in methodology and the growing role of computers. The paper concludes with some notes on possible future developments.
