*Project description*
State of the art approaches on quantitative personnel planning are restricted to either manpower planning or personnel rostering, addressing long term and short term objectives respectively. Some approaches combine aspects of both domains by tackling manpower planning and personnel
rostering in a sequential way, resulting in suboptimal solutions at (the)different decision levels. The decisions taken at the level of manpower planning, restrict the possibilities at the rostering level. Consequently, addressing poor quality rosters at a departmental level is very hard.
The project aims at closing the gap by integrating complementary aspects of personnel planning into one single decision model. Research goals include:
- integrating the objectives of the different decision levels, namely the aggregated organisational level and the level of the local departments, taking into account the corresponding time horizons of both.
- introducing a quality vector capable of considering both manpower planning and rostering aspects.
- developing an algorithm for generating high quality personnel strategies.
An optimal strategy results in a personnel structure that allows for good quality rosters in each department while at the same time, being desirable with respect to manpower planning.
