“…O Dimensionamento da Força de Trabalho (DFT) pode ser entendido como o processo que determina a quantidade de pessoas necessárias para uma determinada demanda ou restrição (LI;CHEN;CAI, 2007). Sob esse aspecto, trata-se de um termo cuja operacionalização é de natureza quantitativa, e seu foco está na estimativa de força de trabalho requerida em determinada unidade ou órgão.…”

Este ensaio tem como objetivo apresentar questões relevantes a respeito do Dimensionamento da Força de Trabalho (DFT) na Administração Pública Federal (APF). Para tanto, foi estruturado em três seções. A primeira expõe os conceitos sobre o tema e suas perspectivas de análise, destacando a relevância do Planejamento da Força de Trabalho (PFT) como estratégia ou diretriz governamental previamente à oferta e difusão dos modelos de DFT aos órgãos e às entidades da APF. Na segunda seção, apresenta-se uma síntese dos métodos de DFT sob ponto de vista estritamente organizacional, as recentes recomendações e diretrizes provenientes do Ministério da Economia (ME) e as indicações resultantes da convergência em literatura. Enfatiza-se que os modelos existentes possuem características prescritivas, oferecem variáveis relacionadas à mensuração de produtos ou entregas individuais e desconsideram características cognitivas do trabalho realizado em boa parte do setor público, tais como as atividades relativas à formulação e à implementação de políticas públicas. Por fim, propõe-se que os modelos prescritivos ou lineares sejam substituídos por modelos autóctones e previamente validados que considerem as características da organização – incluindo políticas, produtos ou serviços prestados à sociedade – e o nível de maturidade institucional para a adoção de novas técnicas e ferramentas de gestão. Afinal, são ferramentas e precisam conferir respostas mais rápidas aos anseios governamentais.

“…Another study is by Li et al (2007), which proposes a multiple objective linear programming model for integrated nurse staff planning and scheduling decisions in the health service sector. The problem considers different job types and categories of full-time staff, and decisions regarding the number of employees to be recruited or dismissed and for professional development (training).…”

A decision support system and a mathematical model for strategic workforce planning in consultancies

et al. 2018

Strategic staff planning in consultancies is a major problem that directly affects the firm's performance and capacity for dealing with projects appropriately. Furthermore, the decisions taken now will have long term consequences, because consultants are highly qualified workers who need very long learning periods to achieve enough expertise. In other words, the size and composition of the future workforce depends on the decisions taken today. It is important to underline that the system anticipates future capacity adjustment in response to forecasted demand requirements; therefore, it is flexible to plan the workforce in different scenarios and time horizons. This paper proposes a decision support system based on a mathematical optimization model for solving strategic staff planning, taking the company's strategies, policies and objectives into account and optimizing both the costs and the staff composition. The tool is tested by applying it in an office belonging to a multinational consulting firm.

“…Taking the railway transportation as an example, the concept of fleet sizing embodies (but is not limited to) the following problems: the locomotive scheduling problem [ 12 – 15 ], the rolling stock circulation problem [ 16 – 18 ] and the empty car distribution problem [ 19 – 21 ]. Aside from the transportation planning field, the workforce sizing optimization has also been widely applied to other fields in recent years, to name but a few, the manufacturing industry field [ 22 ] and the nurse staffing field [ 23 ].…”

Due to its environmentally sustainable and energy-saving characteristics, railway transportation nowadays plays a fundamental role in delivering passengers and goods. Emerged in the area of transportation planning, the crew (workforce) sizing problem and the crew scheduling problem have been attached great importance by the railway industry and the scientific community. In this paper, we aim to solve the two problems by proposing a novel two-stage optimization approach in the context of the electric multiple units (EMU) depot shunting driver assignment problem. Given a predefined depot shunting schedule, the first stage of the approach focuses on determining an optimal size of shunting drivers. While the second stage is formulated as a bi-objective optimization model, in which we comprehensively consider the objectives of minimizing the total walking distance and maximizing the workload balance. Then we combine the normalized normal constraint method with a modified Pareto filter algorithm to obtain Pareto solutions for the bi-objective optimization problem. Furthermore, we conduct a series of numerical experiments to demonstrate the proposed approach. Based on the computational results, the regression analysis yield a driver size predictor and the sensitivity analysis give some interesting insights that are useful for decision makers.
