The Human Resources Assignment with Multiple Sites Problem

Abstract

Abstract-Human resources assignment is the process of creating an employee's assignment in order to meet the demand of a set of tasks over time horizon. Many research works have been developed for similar problems in many field areas like health-caring, manufacturing, transportation… However in our study, we approach a general case where tasks do not have a specific daily or weekly pattern. Employees can be assigned to more than one task per day and taking in consideration multiple sites. The objective of our study is to find a feasible solution that respect different constraints relative to labor regulations and a constraint relative to multiple sites, balance the workload over employees and minimize overload hours. We propose a mixed integer programming model and a key performance indicator based heuristic to solve this problem. The results of the heuristic are very promising.

Toward a correct and optimal time-aware cloud resource allocation to business processes

“…Afilal et al [49] proposed an approach for an optimal human resource allocation using MIP model under a set of constraints such as employee availabil- Different research works are proposed in the context of optimal cloud resource allocation cost. For instance, Wang et al [50] proposed two distributed algorithms to maximize revenues and minimize electricity costs for data centers.…”

Optimal Cost for Time-Aware Cloud Resource Allocation in Business Process

“…In [23], [24] authors propose a mixed integer programming model to allocate human resources while considering employee availability as a major constraint of employee scheduling. While our purpose in this paper is to discover which is the best pricing strategy for each Cloud resource to satisfy business process activities and to minimize Cloud resource allocation and activities penalty costs.…”
