Abstract

This research is motivated by the opportunity to save personnel cost due to technological advancement. The idea is that automation permits the elimination of some tasks but the tasks remaining do not map nicely into the skill sets of existing people. Often the decision to invest in new technology involves large-scale shifts in the mix of skills required to perform both routine and extraordinary work. If the investment in new technology is to be justified then staffing must be reduced. One way to look at this problem is as a resource constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP).
