More Information
Summary:Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with workforce planning. One example method includes receiving a project data associated with a project opportunity. The project data includes a probability data. The probability data describes the likelihood of a project opportunity being selected. The project data includes a workforce demand. The example method may also include establishing an objective function that is based, at least in part, on the project data, and a set of constraints. The objective function concerns a workforce allocation plan. The example method may also include minimizing a workforce cost by solving the objective function in light of the set of constraints. Solving the objective function includes optimizing a tradeoff between labor utilization and project demand fulfillment. The example method may also include providing the workforce allocation plan.
