“…In case that a person i satisfies all characteristics r ∈ C, currentCountTeam is incremented (line [15][16]. In case we found a new minimal value for the number of persons in a team that fulfil all rules in R o , currentCountTeam is assigned to currentCount (line [17][18]. After analysing all teams we check if the variable currentCount is higher than 0, i.e., if we found a team were there is at least one person that fulfils all characteristics in C (line 19).…”

Mining team compositions for collaborative work in business processes

et al. 2016

Process mining aims at discovering processes by extracting knowledge about their different perspectives from event logs. The resource perspective (or organisational perspective) deals, among others, with the assignment of resources to process activities. Mining in relation to this perspective aims to extract rules on resource assignments for the process activities. Prior research in this area is limited by the assumption that only one resource is responsible for each process activity and hence, collaborative activities are disregarded. In this paper, we leverage this assumption by developing a process mining approach that is able to discover team compositions for collaborative process activities from event logs. We evaluate our novel mining approach in terms of computational performance and practical applicability.

“…Most of the approaches that deal with team composition and selection address the problem of finding the best match of experts to required skills [16,18,7,5]. Several of these approaches study connectivity and social aspects for team composition, e.g., social distance between people [44].…”

“…This model allows a classification of the workers on the basis of individual differences, called skills, and evaluates the potential of crosstraining and productivity. Fitzpatrick and Askin (2005) presented a mathematical model that exploits labor skill pools for arranging any team of workers; performance of such a team depends on individual behaviours and interpersonal interactions of workers as well as on their technical competences. Emmett et al (2009) presented a survey on the human factor literature and constructed a framework for scheduling human tasks that accounted for physical and/or cognitive human characteristics and behaviours.…”

This paper deals with Flow-shop Sequence-Dependent Group Scheduling and worker assignment problem. Flow-shop allows the process of a set of families of products applying the group technology concept to reduce setup costs, lead times, and work-in-process inventory costs. The worker assignment problem deals with assigning workers to workstations considering their different abilities and learning effect. The proposed model in this paper considers different objectives. The decision problems in this cellular manufacturing system are the jobs scheduling within of own group, the group scheduling and the workers assignment to the machines. The aim of this paper is to consider a more realistic profile of heterogeneous workers introducing the learning effect in the joint group scheduling and workers assignment problem. A mathematical model and an evolutionary procedure has been developed to solve this problem. A benchmark of test cases having different numbers of machines, groups, jobs, worker skills and learning index, has been taken into account to compare the efficiency of the proposed algorithm with two well known procedures.

“…They underline that the characterization of competency is a first step for modeling the development of competency and improving goals of competency management. Different attributes of competency have been used in the field of team formation to model competency, such as qualification (0 or 1) [8], technical knowledge, skills and know-how [9][10], psycho-sociological capacities or personal traits [11]. In the rest of this paper, to simplify the terminology, the concept of knowledge will cover all these attributes.…”

Abstract. Product design projects involve multiple team members with various knowledge and competencies that have to evolve with time, due to rapid organizational, technological and marketing changes. Project managers require management methods to optimize the assignment of tasks to human resources according to their competency levels and the need for competency evolution. In this paper, we tackle this optimization problem in the context of multiple design projects and multiple periods. The model we propose seeks to minimize two function objectives: (i) minimize the supplementary salary cost due to the extended task duration when using under-competent employees and (ii) minimize the financial penalties when the competency goals have not been reached. This problem has been solved by means of a simulated annealing -based optimization algorithm.
