Abstract:

We describe an O.R. technique which plans the allotment of time of the collaborators of a big company. The proposed method not only considers the immediate profitability of the company, but also the training of the collaborators in order to guarantee the success of the company's rising generation. The proposed method uses a greedy approach and constitutes therefore a simple and fast tool for decision makers. It has been successfully implemented in an important Swiss bank society.

Résumé:

Nous décrivons une méthode issue de la Recherche Opérationnelle permettant de planifier l'emploi du temps des collaborateurs d'une grande entreprise. La méthode que nous proposons tient compte aussi bien de la rentabilité immédiate de l'entreprise que de la formation des collaborateurs, le but étant d'assurer une relève au sein de l'entreprise. Afin d'offrir au planificateur un outil simple et rapide d'aide a la décision, nous avons opté pour une approche de type glouton. La méthode a été implantée avec succès dans un important établissement bancaire helvétique.

Keywords: Timetabling, minimum cost flow, critical path method, decision aid system.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
