On the Determination of Occupational Categories in an Organization

Typically, a personnel assignment model is based on the assumption that n i persons of skill type i; i = 1, …, k, are to be assigned over m j jobs requiring skill j; j = 1, …, s, with a penalty score, d ij , for assigning a person of skill type i to a job requiring j. Then algorithms are sought for an assignment matrix, X = ‖x ij ‖, which minimizes ∑ i,j x ij d ij , under certain constraints, where x ij is the number of persons of skill type i assigned to jobs of skill type j. An input to the problem, then is a determination, for a given organization, of the occupational categories, j = 1, …, s, to which personnel will be assigned. This paper applies the problem to a repair organization. Before one can determine the number of repair men in an organization, among other factors, one must determine the number of their occupational categories.
