Abstract:This study presents a novel approach to resource allocation in software development teams working with Kanban. The simulation algorithm created in this study takes three types of resources, three types of work, resource capabilities, and a blocking mechanism different from the classic machine breakdown scenario. The data generated by the simulations are used to train a decision tree regression which is integrated into an optimization model as a clearing function. In numerical analysis, the research compares th… Show more
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.
