Abstract

Training and re-training of academic staff and non-academic staff in Nigerian tertiary institution cannot be neglected in other to achieve the millennium goal. However, it is imperative that staff are trained at a minimum cost. The work exploits two mathematical programming models namely; Linear programming (LP) and integer Linear Programming Model (ILP) to minimize the cost of training both academic and non-academic staff in junior and senior categories. The study makes a comparison between the two methods. The result reflects that, some constraints are violated when optimal results of LP models are rounded off to nearest integer. However, all the constraints are satisfied at optimal level when ILP is applied. Therefore, the results obtained indicate that the ILP model is the best approach to the problem of personnel management in terms of efficiency and accuracy.
