Multi-Project Management with a Multi-Skilled Workforce

Angebote / Angebote:

This book covers three fundamental problems at the interface of multi-project management and human resource management: the selection of projects, the composition of small project teams, and workload leveling. Matthias Walter proposes optimization models and solution methods for these problems, assuming multi-skilled workers with heterogeneous skill levels. For the first time, the author presents exact and heuristic methods that support managers to form small teams. Additionally, he outlines a new skill chaining strategy that increases workforce flexibility.ContentsMulti-Skilled Workers and Flexibility DesignProject Selection, Workforce Assignment, and Utilization LevelingOptimization Models and Complexity AnalysisSolution Methods and their Numerical AnalysisTarget GroupsResearchers and students in the field of business administration focusing on operations research and project managementHuman resource and project managers as well as software developersThe AuthorDr. Matthias Walter wrote his dissertation under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Jürgen Zimmermann at the Operations Research Group at Clausthal University of Technology.The EditorsThe series Produktion und Logistik is edited by Prof. Dr. Christian Bierwirth, Prof. Dr. Bernhard Fleischmann, Prof. Dr. Moritz Fleischmann, Prof. Dr. Martin Grunow, Prof. Dr. Hans-Otto Günther, Prof. Dr. Stefan Helber, Prof. Dr. Karl Inderfurth, Prof. Dr. Herbert Kopfer, Prof. Dr. Herbert Meyr, Prof. Dr. Katja Schimmelpfeng, Prof. Dr. Thomas S.
