Projects feasibility assessment model based on competencies in organization

Abstract

A proposal for modelling the human resource planning among projects is presented in the paper. The situation when a set of projects is expected to be accomplished in the organization is considered. The presented model provides the answer whether within available human resources with given competencies it is possible to accomplish a set of projects. Moreover the model is able to propose optimized staffing solution given objective function, e.g. maximizing the increase of competencies of the staff. Modelling is based on quantitative description of tasks and employees. The paper presents a case study of model utilization. The preliminary studies on the proposed model allow to conclude that the it reflects the nature of staffing process well. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
