Abstract

This paper tackles the integration of production and human resource management planning, which considers the operator as a production unit subject to degradation according to age, in the context of an unreliable production system in a considerable state of deterioration. The deterioration of the production unit process has a twofold effect on its reliability and continuity, and therefore, to moderate the effects of this deterioration, a replacement action can be conducted based on the state of the system. The objective of the study is to determine an appropriate production policy and replacement strategy in order to meet customer demand. A combination of stochastic dynamic programming and numerical methods are used to solve this optimal control problem. In addition, a numerical example is provided to illustrate the usefulness of the proposed approach, as well as to study the interaction between a given production strategy and human resource management. The effect of the new approach based on a logical implementation is presented following a sensitivity analysis of the numerical example. Regarding the results, a comparative study between recent research and the proposed policy is presented. Finally, an implementation chart is drawn up to guide decision-makers in setting production rates and managing human resources to meet customer demand.
