Abstract

This research develops a fuzzy goal programming (FGP) model for personnel assignment decisions in skill-based environments. Although FGP has been applied to various areas within the management science and operations research literature, a FGP model has not been proposed within the skill-based personnel assignment literature. The paper develops a methodology denoted as membership function relaxation to directly involve decision makers in the process of constructing fuzzy sets and determine priorities of assignment criteria, thus resulting in a more complete decision structure for assignment problems that could lead to higher practical values. An assignment problem in a software development industrial setting is presented to demonstrate the proper implementation of the solution approach. Two software engineering field experts acted as decision-makers and participated in the development of the fuzzy sets for the goals.
