Personnel--Assignment by Multiobjective Programming

Abstract

Assigning personnel is a task where several goals should be simultaneously achieved. It is demonstrated that multiobjective programming in combinatoric medium is possible both methodologically and computationally. Following Geoffrion, it is assumed that the decision-maker has in mind an implicity function mapping the numerical values of the objectives to the real line. The following strategy is suggested: in each stage of a branch-and-bound type procedure the DM is requested to choose the first- and second-best assignments from a given set, and compare several pairs of assignments. The computation is reducible to well-known problems of assignment and shortest routes for which efficient solution-techniques exist.
