Recommendations for the model Sample Clauses

Recommendations for the model. 1) AMPL Multiple skills There are several features that could improve the validity and the model in general of both the model and data used in this thesis. The use of multiple skills per worker would allow them to have and perform various jobs the AMPL-model does not cover and make it more realistic. This would increase the number of alternative solutions and may result in fewer workers needed. Vacation / Sick leave / Flexi-time (VSF) Probably the single element that could greatly improve the utilization results gained by the model can be achieved by handling VSF‟s in an alternate way. Technically in AMPL VSFs are defined as job. As a result of wanting to minimize the number of workers used, are those with VSF already reserved in the data set automatically prioritized to accept “more jobs” when it comes to the allocation. Because the work restriction subtracts VSFs from constraint (5) the model allows adding more jobs to a worker with a large number of VSF- days. For illustration purposes, a worker has had 35 days of VSF-days during the 45-day period. In the remaining 10 days the AMPL-model will try to allocate at least one job during this time. As a result, this worker ends up having overall a low utilization. The job allocated to this person could have gone to another, increasing that person‟s utilization and using one less worker. There are several examples of this situation in the solution files. VSFs are in a practical sense for NOV more flexible to move around depending on whether they are sick leaves, vacations or flexi-time. In the data set VSFs are determined parameters and static rather than in a practice when vacations and flexi-time are planned around certain jobs to better utilize the workers. This restricts the model a bit, but to what degree is hard to say given the dynamic work environment in NOV. Offshore restriction The same sort of issue arises with regards to the offshore restriction in the AMPL-model. As VSFs are reserved before running the model, this excludes a range of solutions where workers have been given vacation time right after completing an offshore trip. This is because part of constraint (2) which does not allow for any jobs to be taken within 1/3 of the time after such a job. Therefore in some cases the original scheduling of these workers may not be replicated, even if there were a good match between worker and job. Though the model hinders it, NOV is allowed to send service engineers to onshore jobs right after offshore ...
