Abstract

In addition to the traditional consideration of technical and economical issues, staffing aspects are gaining in importance in the planning of production systems. The usual approach is to determine the manufacturing equipment according to the applied technology and then to define the necessary staff. However, this approach may lead to problems after the technical issues have been determined. On the other hand, a reversed approach, namely planning the technical resources based on the personnel to be implemented, is hardly practical. The following article deals with the topic of an integrated, simulation-supported procedure for the planning of personnel and technical resources based on a pre-determined order programme and the corresponding production logistical conditions.
