A multiobjective personnel management model was developed to aid engineering managers in making seasonal job reassignments where the problem is to assign up to 150 workers to up to 50 jobsites. The model may be used to find efficient and equitable decision strategies within the constraints of known jobsite demand and limited resources. Rapid prototyping techniques were used to develop and test the model on a minicomputer system. The success of this prototype led to the subsequent implementation of the model using microcomputer technology. Program size was the major problem encountered in transferring the model from one computer system to the other. As a transportation model with one additional constraint, the nature of the formulation was exploited to overcome microcomputer storage limitations. Details of this redesign process and other strategies used to reduce the prototype size are presented together with a discussion of model performance.read more

Microcomputer Implementation of SANTA: A Personnel Management Model
Jeff R. Wright,Steven C. Egly +1 more
TL;DR: The SANTA model as mentioned in this paper is a multiobjective integer program that can generate the complete and precise tradeoff curve between the objectives of minimizing total distance that the reassigned workforce must travel from their respective homes to one of many site locations, and minimizing the maximum distance that any one worker must travel.
