Same way we analyze the need for manpower! Name the department, find out what skills are needed, then link the skills to the business - cost vs. revenue or revenue impact, study profiles from job portals for similar skills, talk to others in the same business and assess the need/importance, check if it can be automated or not and then step back, pat yourself on the back!

Dear Rajesh,
Departments are developed or designed for a special activity or function. If you feel that your business needs a department with persons who have special skills and knowledge, then go ahead and create one. Your 110-character post is too short, or it is like an SMS. You have not mentioned the context of your query. There is no introduction to your query and which department you would like to create.
If you check Wikipedia for the article on "division of labour," you will find the thoughts of 14 thinkers. To create the department, you first need to define the objectives of the department. Thereafter, you need to identify the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) of this department. After that, you need to derive Key Result Areas (KRAs) from these KPIs and identify what target you would like to set. Based on the target, you need to identify how much manpower you will require, the quality of the manpower, their educational qualifications, the knowledge or skills that they need to have, etc.
Then, you need to identify the reporting structure within the department to whom the Head of Department (HoD) of this department will report.
Thanks,

Dear Rajesh,
Steps are not involved in creating a department; rather, activities of the organization. It depends upon the quantum of work and the number of manpower involved. Furthermore, it depends on when some special activities started but are not being managed properly or are under dual responsibility with another department.
It is suggested to consult an Industrial Engineer with the details of your organization's activities and requirements.

Creating something is not too difficult if you follow the procedures outlined by Mr. Divekar, you can achieve it. But maintaining or sustaining something that you created is much more challenging. In governments, they create so many departments and they continue to draw salaries, budgets, and expenses, even after the department outlives its objective. Government is like an octopus. In private organizations, creating a department should be well thought out, considering whether there will be a long-term need or a short-term ad-hoc purpose behind it. This needs to be debated at length, taking into account various parameters outlined by my learned professionals here. Knee-jerk reactions to cater to the whims and fancies of bigwigs in a company have to be avoided.
