Optimal assignment of personnel to facilities during a strike

Keywords: Assignment, Optimization, Risks, Strike, Faculty

Abstract

The purpose of this research work was to develop a binary linear programming model for the assignment of workers to guard facilities at a university in case of strike. The objective of the model developed is to minimize the total travel distance of the teachers to the different facilities belonging to the university. Some of the characteristics that were considered to establish certain conditions in the development of the model were the age of the teachers, their sex, the kilometers of travel and the capacity to house the teachers in each facility. The result generated by the computational model implemented in LINGO showed that the optimal allocation, by assigning a total of 596 teachers to the facilities considered, the proportion of women in hazardous shifts was 26.2%, with an age range of 28 to 59 years, while for non-hazardous shifts the results were 61.2% and a range of 28 to 68 years.
