Workers' placement in an industrial environment
A problem of workers' placement in an industrial environment is studied in this paper; an effect of workers' relationship to their placement is newly included in this paper. Evaluating workers' suitability is important for decision makers to select the better candidates under various evaluation criteria among available human resources and jobs. For problems of this type, an analysis using the fuzzy number approach promises to be potentially effective. In order to make a more convincing and accurate decision, the relationship among workers is included in the workers' assignment in an industrial environment. By means of aggregating the decision-makers' fuzzy assessment the fuzzy suitability evaluation is performed. Typical application examples are also presented: the results demonstrate that the workers' relationship is an important factor and our method is effective for the decision making process.
