摘要:
Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with workforce planning. One example method includes receiving a project data associated with a project opportunity. The project data includes a probability data. The probability data describes the likelihood of a project opportunity being selected. The project data includes a workforce demand. The example method may also include establishing an objective function that is based, at least in part, on the project data, and a set of constraints. The objective function concerns a workforce allocation plan. The example method may also include minimizing a workforce cost by solving the objective function in light of the set of constraints. Solving the objective function includes optimizing a tradeoff between labor utilization and project demand fulfillment. The example method may also include providing the workforce allocation plan.

One embodiment is a method that receives historical data of suppliers and applies, to the historical data, a mathematical optimization system that includes a set of mathematical equations and inequalities that express capabilities and capacities of the suppliers. The mathematical optimization system includes an objective function that minimizes a number of the suppliers to perform third-party labor services for an enterprise. The method selects a sub-set of the suppliers to perform the third-party labor services for the enterprise.

A report indicating a user-reported probability of a successful outcome is received. A behavior and information model is estimated based on the report. The behavior and information model includes a behavior model component having a bias parameter and a consistency parameter. The behavior and information model includes an information model component having a first user-believed probability of a successful outcome and a second user-believed probability of a successful outcome. The behavior and information model is used to yield a model-determined probability of a successful outcome that more accurately reflects a probability of a successful outcome than the user-reported probability of a successful outcome does.

A resource is scored based on a matching of the resource to a job. Job attributes for the job and resource attributes for the resource are identified. A hierarchy of the job attributes that includes dependencies between the job attributes is determined. A score for the resource is determined using the hierarchy of the job attributes and the resource attributes. The score represents a matching between the resource and the job.

A workforce capacity and capability at an entity is optimized. Values for parameters related to the workforce capacity and capability at the entity are received. A workforce capacity and capability model is used to generate values for decision variables related to the workforce capacity and capability at the entity, based on the values for the parameters that have been received. The workforce capacity and capability model models uncertainty associated with a workforce. The values for the decision variables assist evaluation of workforce capacity and capability strategic decisions

Example methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture to determine work placement preferences are disclosed. A disclosed example method includes receiving, via a processor, a request for a resource to fill an open position within an organization, the request including a primary resource group for the open position, determining with the processor resource group preferences of resource groups using a structure of the organization that includes functional relationships between the resource groups, calculating weights for the resource group preferences based on respective organizational distances in the structure of the respective resource groups from the primary resource group, determining a target resource group with a greatest calculated weight for a resource group preference from among the resource groups that have at least one available resource, and selecting a resource within the target resource group to fill the open position.

A method for determining call center resource allocation can include modeling call center performance over an operations time period using a computer. A number of replicas of the modeled call center performance are simulated, using the computer, over a planning time period, each replica having random contact arrivals and contact service times following a stochastic arrival and service process according to a probability distributions of inter-arrival time and service time. Multiple iterations of each simulation are run on the computer to optimize call center resource allocation. A particular simulation iteration is tested against a criterion of convergence, and call center resource is allocated based on the particular simulation iteration with a successful criterion of convergence.

A method includes receiving flight leg data and dispatcher position data for a planning horizon and identifying cycle flight legs and extraordinary flight legs based on the flight leg data. The method includes allocating each cycle flight leg to at least one dispatcher position while minimizing workload deviations between the dispatcher positions. The method includes allocating, after allocating each cycle flight leg, each extraordinary flight leg to at least one dispatcher position while minimizing workload deviations between the dispatcher positions.
