managers were taught a six-step methodology for personnel planning. These were the six steps:
1. Establish the strategy.
2. Changes to the Map Service.

4. Be aware of the workforce's availability.
5. Make a plan to get the people you need.
6. Use the monitor and repeat method.
They were asked to establish plans for the next two years, one year, and five years using this
