Global competitions are putting pressure on the manufacturing companies to produce products cheaper and faster. Thus, manufacturing operations are urgently exploring methods to reduce cost through improved efficiency in managing the resources. In recent years, there has been growing interest to study human system due to the lack of focus as compared to other resources such as equipment and material. This paper presents the overview and evaluation of the various human issues affecting manufacturing system dynamics and performance. Furthermore, the gap in the current models will be discussed before presenting the development of a proposed model to study human system in semiconductor assembly and test.
This paper presents a review of the literature on personnel scheduling problems. Firstly, we discuss the classification methods in former review papers. Secondly, we evaluate the literature in the many fields that are related to either the problem setting or the technical features. Each perspective is presented as a table in which the classification is displayed. This method facilitates the identification of manuscripts related to the reader’s specific interests. Throughout the literature review, we identify trends in research on personnel staffing and scheduling, and we indicate which areas should be subject to future research.
