We have400 PC's ,45 Servers, Three Forests, ERP System, HR, SharePoint, Automation for industrial and production lines. things are managed and designed in house, we have MIS section and Infrastructure and security section as well as automation of business processes. Is there any standard way of defining the number of employees required to manage IT department there.
The info you provided is good ... but not enough to answer the question !!
However, and in the absence of the necessary details we need to define the number accurately, I may play the guesstimate (guessig and estimating) game as follows : -
The question of "up-sizing", "down-sizing" or "right-sizing" any organization to reach the optimal number of employees in the company, and in any specific department (function) within the organization is one of the top-management burning issues they face, and they often end up doing wrongly which harms the organization instead of doing it any good
I have personally faced this situation in my professional services/management consultancy services in the manufacturing sector .. and we had to have a thorough and complete analysis to give reasonable and justified answers !!
It depends on the task on how many IT we need to do the job.
it depend on the work and task.
For the given figure, my realistic estimate at 15 experts in dealing the complex job like server thing and 20 Service Desk to assist the light job pertaining IT jobs.
A thorough analyzation and assessment needed on this one. First, need to understand what is the company's target and requirement. Nowadays, companies are downsizing the number of employees in an organization and maximizing their roles and responsiblities. But I will try my guess, atleast 10 but not more than 15.
IN MANUFACTURING COMPANY NO. OF 5 PERSONAL COMPUTER OR SAP PROGRAM USER IN ALL WORKING WITH LAN SERVER IS EQUIVALENT OF 1 IT PERSON MEANS FOR E.G. 30 PC + LAN SERVER + SAP PROGRAMME WORK SO REQUIRE ATLEAST 4 I.T. EMPLOYEES IS NEEDED.
it depends of course on the size of the company and its locations around the world as well as its main activities and the sector in which it operates: industrial, services, engineering, finance ....
Wow, this company has a very good MIS. An analysis is must to determine the exact requirement. To ensure somooth operation a good number of team members for differnt responsibilities are required Lead by a vertern with leadership role. But a good guess 15-20 personnel's are required.
The first and the foremost objective is to get the Job Roles required (This can be done with the help of the IT Head). Then we need to write down the job despcriptions for the aforesaid Job roles.
You need to ensure that the Head of IT is in sync with the Job Descriptions and approves them.
Once these are ready you may give the man power requirement document to the Head of IT and ask him about the Head count requirement, as he is the best one to do so.
The role of HR here is to ensure that there is no over hiring for any role which can be easily done by ensuring that the JD's are precise.
Keep the Team Lean but Efficient.
