Personnel placement in a fuzzy environment

Evaluating personnel suitability is very important for decision-makers to select a best candidate under various evaluation criteria or to seek an optimal matching between personnel and jobs within the constraints dictated by available human resources and jobs. By means of aggregating decision-makers’ fuzzy assessment about criteria weightings and personnel suitability ratings relative to various evaluation criteria, the fuzzy suitability indices can be obtained. Combining the concepts of fuzzy set theory and the weighted complete bipartite graph, a polynomial time algorithm for personnel placement under fuzzy environment is developed. Using this algorithm, the decision-makers can maximize personnel utilization and increase job effectiveness.
