Workforce scheduling incorporating worker skills and ergonomic constraints

Flexible job shop scheduling problem under Industry 5.0: A survey on human reintegration, environmental consideration and resilience improvement

“…He (she) also presents various constraints of unavailability associated with breaks, days off, training, sick leaves, etc. It has often been reported in the literature that human operators impact the performance of production systems, primarily through their skills and abilities (Rinaldi et al, 2022). Thus, despite the difficulty of modeling, human behavior patterns must be considered to have the most realistic scheduling possible while optimizing resource utilization and reducing the gap between theoretical and effective performance.…”

“…These methods, among others, are summarized in Table 4 (adapted from Savino et al (2016)). The upper limbs correspond to the neck, trunk, waist, wrist, arms, and forearms, and the lower limbs correspond to the knees and legs (Savino et al, 2017) The ergonomic methods presented in Table 4 are used in particular in assembly line problems due to the repetitiveness of worker's movement (Bautista et al, 2016) or workforce assignment problems (Rinaldi et al, 2022), but also in some FJSSP (Hongyu and Xiuli, 2021). For example, the OCRA index provides results such as "no risk", "low risk" or "high risk" on the worker regarding the achieved task.…”

“…The other considers the worker's cognitive abilities. These two characteristics enable the development of efficient workforce planning (Rinaldi, et al, 2022). The training and professional growth of each worker is an essential part of the correct resource planning.…”

“…The problem of workforce planning is a well-known decision-making problem that refers to the allocation of workers to specific workstations or tasks. The workforce planning and rotation problem is a solution to balance the physical workload and reduce ergonomic risks among workers (Rinaldi, et al, 2022). In planning production lines, workforce management needs to respect two conditions.…”

“…The concept of the talent management is the ability to put the right people in the right place at the right time while respecting their security and digitising processes by making them data collectors. The problem of workforce planning is a well-known decision-making problem that refers to the allocation of workers to specific workstations or The workforce planning and rotation problem is a solution to balance the physical workload and reduce ergonomic risks among workers (Rinaldi, et al, 2022).
