Abstract

Worker cross-training is a problem arising in many industries and companies that involve human work, since workers that possess multiple skills, i.e., a qualification profile, may be employed more flexible on a day-to-day basis. At the same time it can be assumed that these workers are also incur a higher personnel cost. It is therefore of high interest to a company to balance the available skills such that customer deadlines can be met in a cost-efficient way. In this work we extend a simulation-based optimization approach with a third objective and apply NSGA-II.
