ASSIGNMENT OF PERSONNEL WITH SHIFTS DEPENDENT OF THE OPERATOR TYPE

Abstract

This article describes the principal characteristics of a support model to decision-making designed with the purpose of supporting the process of assignment of resources (personnel) in a process of textile production. The tool feeds a linear programming model, which includes factors that contribute to the individual assignment and roles within the process. The device is developed in LP Solve, which offers a manageable interface capable of relating these factors whether as objectives or restrictions, and of adjusting the parameters of the model. The result is an alternative to responding to the group of current competitive exigencies, which is a relevant fact because the resources and the capabilities of the companies are today the main source of competitive advantage, and this option can be a faster, as well as a more precise and economic way to access it.
