“…Human Resource Allocation Problem (HRAP) is considered as a special case of assignment problem. S.Bouajaja et al write a survey on human resource allocation problems [6], where they present the main approaches proposed in the literature to solve HRAP in different real life applications. Among these approaches, we find exact methods [7] or meta-heuristics [8].…”

“…Step Meta-heuristics present a potential solution for scheduling problems when exact methods are unable to find an optimal solution within a reasonable computational time [6]. Genetic algorithm is a meta-heuristic that has been proposed in 1975 by John Holland, it belongs to evolutionary algorithms group, and it aims to solve optimization problems by simulating the intelligence of natural selection and genetics [14] following specific steps as shown in this pseudo-code: Generate offspring by the selected parents 6:…”

Business Process Management (BPM) is concerned with continuously enhancing business processes. However, this cannot be achieved without an effective Resource allocation and a priority-based scheduling. These are important steps towards time, cost and performance optimization in business processes. Even though there are several approaches and algorithms for scheduling and resource allocation problems, they do not take into consideration information gathered from past process executions, given the stateless aspect of business processes. Extracting useful knowledge from this information can help achieving an effective instance scheduling decisions without compromising cost or quality of service. In this paper, we pave the way for a combination approach which is based on unsupervised machine learning algorithms for clustering and genetic algorithm (GA) to ensure the assignment of the most critical business process instance tasks, to the qualified human resource while respecting several constraints such as resource availability and reliability, and taking into consideration the priority of the events that launch the process instances. A case study is presented and the obtained results from our experimentations demonstrate the benefit of our approach and allowed us to confirm the efficiency of our assumptions.

Using multiskilled manpower refers to the ability of dynamically reallocate labour from one stage of production process to another one in response to bottlenecks configuration. This paper investigates improvements in tangible performance measures which can be achieved by incorporating multiskilled workforce in off-site construction. To this end, scheduling in off-site construction analysed in flowshop environment with multiskilled human resource in which operations processing time depends on the amount of human resource allocated to it. The objective of this optimisation problem is to minimise production makespan taking into account labour costs associated with different flexibility strategies. To this end, a mathematical framework incorporating flowshop principles developed, formulations coded in an open source programming interface and solved with a commercial solver providing free license to academic usage. Production data from a prefabrication factory based in Melbourne, Australia fed to the model providing a basis for comparison based on different indicators of productivity. The findings of this study are insightful for human resource development in off-site construction by providing cost and productivity corresponding to different multiskilling strategies.

Abstract-Personnel selection is a well-known problem that is made difficult by incomplete and imprecise information about candidate and position compatibility. This paper shows how positions, which satisfy candidate's interests, can be identified with fuzzy linguistic terms and a fuzzy OWA operator. A set of relevant positions aligned with a student's interests is selected using this approach. The implementation of the proposed method is illustrated using a numerical example in a business application.
