Optimizing Allocations In A Workforce Allocation Plan

摘要

A method for optimizing allocations in a workforce allocation plan begins when resource data is received. The resource data includes data that relates to employee resources and to demand for the employee resources. A first set of employee resource pairings is established using the user's resource preferences to assigning the employee resources to the demand for the employee resources. A second set of employee resource pairings is established using predetermined resource preferences to assign the employee resources to the demand for the employee resources. The second set of employee resource pairings includes all employee resource pairings that belong to an optimal solution. The first and second sets of employee resource pairings are compared to provide the workforce allocation plan having the optimal solution with the maximum number of the user's resource preferences to optimize allocations in the workforce allocation plan.
