A Flow Diagram of worker assignment in a Cellular Manufacturing System 1.1 Optimum Number of Workers Perhaps, finding the optimal number of workers is the main idea of investigating HRM in CMS. To determine optimal number of operators and part assignment, Park and Lee (1995) developed a 2-stage model while in first stage, a Taguchi method was used to determine system performance which was then used as objective function of assigning model. The idea of maximizing saving costs between operation and outsourcing costs was investigated by Heady (1997). But their model did not investigate operator level, training, hiring and firing costs. Norman et al. (2002) proposed a model to assign workers in manufacturing cells in order to maximize the system profit. Ertay and Ruan (2005) developed the idea of determining number of operators for maximizing number of outputs. For this purpose, using weighted input data, a data envelopment analysis (DEA) was applied. But in the proposed model, the same skill for all operators and machines was considered. 1.2 Promoting and Assigning Skilled Workers Since in real industries, operator’s skill are not same, so their outputs will not be the same. The idea of considering operator levels was investigated by Suer and Cedeño (1996). For this purpose, a mixed integer programming method was used to generate alternative operator levels and then another integer programming is employed to find the optimal operator assignments to the cells. Askin and Huang (1997) used integer programming for assigning workers to cells in order to determine a training program for employees. Aryanezhad et al. (2009) considered 3 skill levels for workers, which can be promoted through the planning horizon by training. Then a multi-period scheduling model was developed for simultaneous cell forming and worker assignning. Jannes et al. (2005) focused on assiginings workers to team works with the aims of minimizing training and assigning costs as well as maximizing labor flexibility. In the same year, Fitzpatrick and Askin (2005) argued that elemens of a good team formation is not limited to personnal skills and characteristics but technological and human interactions. Hence, by using pre-determined skill level measures, they tried to select workers and assign them to appropriate teams in cells to maximize team performance. Cesaní and Steudel (2005) focused on some factors on deployment of labors. Then, they focused on work sharing, work balancing and leveling the operator assignments (in presence of bottleneck operations). To prevent overloading and over-assigning of operators, Satoglu and Suresh (2009) used goal programming in a mathematical model where the objectives were minimizing over assignment of workers, cross training, hiring and firing costs. 1.3 Cross-trained workers Note that cross-trained workers are refered to those workers that are trained to perofrm more than one task.

In order to gain maximum throughput, minimum tardiness from the minimum investment of funds for the material handling activities, it is important to determine the optimum numbers of MHRs required for efficient production of jobs in the FMS. In the present work, the requirement of MHRs is optimized for different FMS layouts by using a heuristic procedure. Initially, a mathematical model is proposed to identify the MHRs requirement to perform the material handling activities in the FMS, later on, the model is optimized by simulating a novel heuristic procedure to find the required optimum number of MHRs in the FMS. The proposed methodology is found to be generic enough and can also be applied in various industries employing the MHRs. © 2019 by the authors; licensee Growing Science, Canada.","PeriodicalId":42333,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Project Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.5267/J.JPM.2019.4.002","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70780846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During the past few decades, there has been tremendous efforts to reduce the negative effects of construction operations on environment. This paper presents an application of data envelopment analysis to measure the relative efficiencies of the researches accomplished by various countries around the world on green construction or green management. The study expects countries that produce higher amount of CO2 accomplish more quality research articles. To do this, the study performs a survey using three keywords; namely “green construction”, “green building” and “sustainable building” on Scopus database and found 8692 articles over the period 1965-2019 where one of these keywords, at least, was used in their abstracts, keywords or titles. We also use three measures of h-index, I-10 and total publications representative of quality and quantity of the outputs produced by researchers. The study considers 28 countries responsible for at least 90% of CO2 emission for measuring the relative efficiency program using data envelopment analysis. The results indicate that Hong Kong was the only efficient country followed by Singapore with relative efficiency of 0.67. © 2019 by the authors; licensee Growing Science, Canada.","PeriodicalId":42333,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Project Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.5267/J.JPM.2019.4.001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70780663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
