To develop human resource planning for Control Instrument Project Department, Ratchaburi Combined Cycle Plant Construction Project by using Microsoft Project as a tool. This development is focused on three main topics: Workload planning, Utilization planning and Budget planning. It can also apply to other departments in power plant construction project. The research methodologies were initiated to study and gather the data and methods of human resource planning from various sources so that the development topics could be determined in specific areas. Then, the required data would be collected in order to use for reference and development of human resource planning. After that, a systematic method was proposed in six steps: Situation Analysis, Demand Analysis, Supply Analysis, Gap Analysis, Solution Analysis and Evaluation. This method was based on the workforce planning of Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). In next step, the proposed method was applied to plan the human resource of Control Instrument Project Department in fiscal year 2000. Its results then would be compared with the existing method in the same fiscal year and discussed in several areas. Finally, the outcomes of development would be concluded and recommended. The conclusions from the development of human resource planning for Control Instrument Project Department show that the proposed method more minimize the workload planning, utilization planning and budget planning than the existing method. In addition, It can apply to other departments in power plant construction project. The findings of this thesis provide the minimization of workload plan by 29%, utilization plan by 22% and budget plan by 3%. In other word, the budget can be minimized to 1.7 million baht per fiscal year.
