Human Resource Planning The study found that herbal community business entrepreneurs in Songkhla province, all of
which had products that had been nationally in 2012 selected as a five-star certificate OTOP products, all conducted the human resources plan in accordance with their production plan. As a result, their operations went smoothly. Consistent with the findings of Phothajareun (2011), there was an emphasis on hiring temporary employees because their manufacturing processes were discrete. Products were manufactured to order or kept as stock. They employed local people as temporary employees because it was more flexible than hiring permanent staff. Kejornnan (2002) stated that human resource planning was necessary to accommodate changes, so the organization could operate effectively and efficiently by determining the
number of required features, specifications and
capabilities of personnel (Wongsarasri, 2002).
