摘要

An integrated method for achieving short-term activity resource staffing levels and long-term resource action planning for a portfolio of services projects is presented. The method establishes the short-term resource-staffing level for each project activity in a portfolio of services projects, subject to short-term resource availability in each skill type and substitutability among skill types. It further establishes the long-term resource-staffing level and long-term resource action planning using combination of a plurality of resource actions that include hiring, contracting, and cross-training of skill types.
