Enhancement method for assignments of staff in multiple events

Abstract

A problem of staff assignment in an organization with multiple assignments of scheduled events is addressed here. The objective is to propose an efficient and practical approach for enhancing a given policy of staff assignments to attain a more efficient operation. To address the problem, a multi-period assignment model formulation is employed here. Using this approach, an efficient heuristic method is devised to obtain enhancements of any given solution policy. A numerical example is provided for clarity in implementing the proposed method. This research is expected to provide a meaningful contribution to managing staff assignments in various types of organizations.
