Recommendations to Support Staffing Decisions

چکیده
We have developed a recommender system to assist project managers at MITRE with identifying and learning about potential candidates for open project positions. Features were added to the user interface for the recommender as a result of a pilot study in which the recommender was used to suggest job candidates for open positions. In this paper we explain how the recommender is implemented, describe the pilot study, and discuss the improvements to the user interface that were made to support the study.

متن کاملControlling excessive waiting times in small service systems with time-varying demand: An extension of the ISA algorithm
In many service systems, the arrival pattern is not constant throughout the day. This raises the question how staffing decisions should be adapted in view of controlling customer’s waiting times. Assuming a single-stage queueing system with general abandonment and service times and time-varying demand for service, we suggest a method inspired by the simulation-based Iterative Staffing Algorithm...
