Employee Resource Assignment
Employee Resource Assignment optimizes the allocation of available employees to workstations and production orders. The algorithm takes into account qualifications, availabilities, priorities, and operational constraints in order to generate productive and feasible workforce schedules. This results in more stable production processes, better utilization of existing skills, and greater operational flexibility.
Workforce scheduling in production is characterized by:
- different skill sets
- limited employee availability
- complex workplace requirements
- short-term changes (!)
- competing priorities
- high manual coordination effort
Employee Resource Assignment optimizes automatically:
- employee assignments
- skill matching
- workstation staffing
- priorities and assignment rules
- utilization of available employees
- assignment frequencies
- operational constraints and availabilities
Individual weightings and operational requirements are flexibly taken into account to generate feasible and cost-efficient workforce schedules.
This becomes particularly critical in the case of:
- skilled labor shortage
- high product variety
- dynamic production environments
- skill-dependent workplaces
- multiple parallel production lines
Your benefits through Employee Resource Assignment:
Higher productivity
Better utilization of existing skills
More stable workforce scheduling
Reduced manual planning effort
Greater operational flexibility
Better safeguarding of planned production orders
