Production Scheduling with Quantitative and Qualitative Selection of Human Resources

Abstract

The paper presents a method of quantitative and qualitative selection of human resources in production planning based on assumed load of the production system. Human resources are treated as additional resources. Determining the required number of staff and their competences is implemented in three stages. First, the production schedule is determined with the assumption of unlimited availability of additional resources. The obtained solution is a point of reference for determining the minimum number of required resources and their competencies. In the second stage, the reference number of workers is sought. Depending on the way selected, in the last stage the process of merging or removing the competencies of individual workers is done for the optimisation of the number of workers and their individual competencies.
