Description
Summary:In the context of personnel assignment, the allocation of tasks to individuals with appropriate expertise and willingness not only reduces costs in terms of time and resources but also increases satisfaction for both the assigning and assigned parties. To achieve these positive outcomes, the key lies in matching the right person with the right job. Mathematically, this suitability is determined through personnel assignment models within the framework of linear programming. In the present study, a personnel assignment model was employed to allocate lieutenant-ranked officers who had not yet been assigned to pilot, navigation, or unmanned aerial vehicle pilot duties within the Air Force to one of the 14 defined branches within the institution. The model's formulation considered the basic requirements of each branch, the candidates' suitability for the respective roles, the characteristics of their academic backgrounds, and other specific conditions, utilizing a 0-1 integer linear programming assignment model. The assignments made within the framework of the model were found to be in full compliance with the regulatory expectations.
