Proactive and reactive approach to employee competence configuration problem in planning and scheduling processes

Abstract At the time of commonplace automation, robotization and rapid development IT, high qualifications employees have become critical element every industry system. This follows from their limited availability, frequently costs procurement possible employee absenteeism. Moreover, concept Industry 4.0 will transform current into knowledge employees. is due to fact that hard routine tasks be executed by robots computers. constitutes change in required competences. Unfortunately, aspect management configuration competences often overlooked industrial practice. In response existing problem, article puts forward original model competence which a basis for responses numerous questions managers production processes, both general ones, e.g., Do we sufficient set execute schedule? as well detailed Which how many are missing? etc. An important novelty presented possibility its application with proactive reactive questions. Due discrete combinatorial nature problem under consideration, use mathematical programming methods was only small data instances. Therefore, proprietary dedicated genetic algorithm proposed solve this turned out extremely effective. The has enabled finding solution depending on instance up 70 times faster than programming.
