Rule Base for Operative Planning and Control of Flexible Labour Hours

摘要

Within this paper the core components of a cyber-physical-system (CPS) for the support of a self-organised and highly flexible labour utilisation will be presented. It displays the on-going German research project "KapaflexCy" within the CPS will be developed. Further the possibilities and impacts of a flexible labour utilisation will be researched in three case studies. The approach of the project is to involve employees in the personnel planning and scheduling. The core components of the CPS are a matching and voting board for mobile communication devices, a central planning and scheduling instance and a rule base with a comprehensive set of priority and eligibility rules for work assignments. The rules are guiding the process of matching and voting for work assignments. They limit the possible work assignments within a legal and economical justified corridor for flexible working hours. The paper will highlight in particular the rule base of the CPS to be developed within the project.
