Human Resource Selection for Manufacturing System Using Petri Nets

Abstract:

Proper selection of personnel constitutes a frequent challenge for the management of many enterprises. In this paper the above problem has been defined using three objective functions which required simultaneous optimisation. To solve this problem, computer modelling based on Petri nets was proposed. The model was subjected to iterative computer simulation, during which various variants of workstation assignment were tested. This resulted in the emergence of a variant which best fulfilled the assumed optimisation criteria.
