Mobile Workforce Scheduling – The Optimization

Mobile Workforce Scheduling – The Optimization
Published by www.verisae.com
Workforce scheduling belongs to a category of multi-objective optimization problems. Traditional workforce optimization approaches can’t bridge the gap between the business needs and the “switches” and “toggles” necessary to configure today’s optimization algorithms. To reach operational excellence in mobile workforce scheduling, your service organization must clearly identify your different service objectives and how you want to balance those objectives. Then, you must be able to capture those objectives in a language that can be understood by both the operations manager and a computer algorithm.
Whenever optimal decisions must be made that involve trade-offs between two or more conflicting objectives, you have a multi-objective optimization problem.
For example:
  • maximizing profit and minimizing the cost of a product
  • maximizing performance and minimizing fuel consumption of a vehicle
  • minimizing weight and maximizing the strength of a particular component
Achieving this outcome means you’re setting the bar high, but it’s a goal worth pursuing. Because when all is said and done, you can’t expect your valuable resources to be more effective.

Mobile Workforce Management and Happiness

Published by www.verisae.com
Mobile workforce management solution, we often hear that the most important criteria is saving on drive time
Your happiness depends on balancing a customer-friendly assignments plan with a resource-effective assignments plan.
But one of the most challenging planning tasks is translating business goals to day-to-day assignments schedules.
Customer satisfaction is strongly related to the contractual agreement between you and your customers, or more specifically, the service level agreement (SLA) part of the contract. So you must translate SLA metrics (e.g., uptime, turnaround time) into planning and execution policies, decisions and best practices.
When creating a plan, there may be a lot of focus on meeting service commitments. But you have to examine the risk of keeping your service commitments when something goes wrong.
Defining and prioritizing your objectives correctly has significant impact on your business. These critical decisions are the key to happiness in mobile workforce management.
Balancing the needs of customer, field employee and the Organization is a critical part which can be done with #EFFORT
