means for comparing the chosen surplus employee data records with non-surplus employee data records, wherein both the chosen surplus employees and non-surplus employees have a common skill group;
means for identifying one or more of the surplus employee data records as non-surplus employee data records based on the comparison; and
means for changing the identified surplus employee data records to non-surplus employee data records based on the identification.
12. The information handling system as described in claim 8 further comprising:
means for reviewing the chosen surplus group of employees based on one or more surplus criteria; and
means for rejecting one or more of the chosen surplus data records based on the reviews.
13. The information handling system as described in claim 12 wherein at least one of the surplus criteria is selected from the group consisting of organizational surplus guidelines, local laws, state laws, and national laws.
14. A computer program product stored in a computer operable media for analyzing resources for a reduction action, said computer program product comprising:
means for identifying a skill group that includes surplus human resources;
means for selecting one or more employees data records corresponding to the identified skill group;
means for analyzing evaluations corresponding to the selected employee data records; and
means for choosing a surplus group of employee data records from the selected employee data records based on the analysis.
15. The computer program product as described in claim 14 further comprising:
means for sorting the selected employee data records by the evaluations;
means for receiving a surplus percentage corresponding to the skill group; and
means for selecting the surplus percentage from the low end of the sorted employee data records.
16. The computer program product as described in claim 14 wherein the skill group includes a skill level.
17. The computer program product as described in claim 14 further comprising:
means for identifying an employee corresponding to one of the employee data records to evaluate;
means for retrieving an evaluation template from a plurality of evaluation templates corresponding to the identified employee’s skill group;
means for evaluating the identified employee using the retrieved evaluation template; and
means for storing the identified employee’s evaluation in a data store stored on a nonvolatile storage area.
18. The computer program product as described in claim 14 further comprising:
means for comparing the chosen surplus employee data records with non-surplus employee data records, wherein both the chosen surplus employees and non-surplus employees have a common skill group;
means for identifying one or more of the surplus employee data records as non-surplus employee data records based on the comparison; and
means for changing the identified surplus employee data records to non-surplus employee data records based on the identification.
19. The computer program product as described in claim 14 further comprising:
means for reviewing the chosen surplus group of employees based on one or more surplus criteria; and
means for rejecting one or more of the chosen surplus data records based on the reviews.
20. The computer program product as described in claim 6 wherein at least one of the surplus criteria is selected from the group consisting of organizational surplus guidelines, local laws, state laws, and national laws.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A coupling mechanism, comprising:
a coupling main body in a shape of a circular cylinder;
a stopper member in
a shape of notching a portion of a ring-like strip member;
a connected pipe inserted to an inner side of the coupling main body; and
an elastic ring for sealing attached to an outer periphery in the vicinity of an inserting front end of the connected pipe,
wherein an inner peripheral wall of the coupling main body is inscribed with an outer side ring groove containing an outer peripheral side edge portion of the stopper member, and a stopper member introducing port formed by a width wider than a width dimension of the strip member of the stopper member is inscribed at a position of an outer wall portion of the coupling main body shifted from a position of inscribing the outer side ring groove slightly on a side of an inserting front end,
