Efficient planning and management of the workforce resources is one of the most essential requirements for the companies operating in the service sector. For banks, a large number of transactions coming to Central Operations Department from the branches or directly from the customers and their aim is to provide the best operational service with the highest efficiency with the limited workforce resources in the departments. In this study, a real assignment problem was discussed and the problem was considered as Generalized Assignment Problem. For the solution of the problem, related algorithms were listed and examined in the literature survey section. Then, a two-step method is proposed. First step prioritizes the task coming to the system by considering the customer types, service level agreement (SLA) times, cut-off times, task type. In the second step, a multi-objective mathematical model was developed to assign task to employee groups. A preference based optimization method called Linear Physical Programming (LPP) is used to solve the model. Afterward, proposed model was tested on real banking data. For all the tests, GAMS was used as a solver. Results show that proposed model gave better results compared with current situation. With the proposed solution method, the workloads of the profile groups working above their capacity were transferred to other profile groups with idle capacity. Thus, the capacity utilization rates of the profile groups were more balanced and the minimum capacity utilization rate was calculated as 41%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
