Modeling and simulation of worker profiles in production systems based on punctuality, fatigue, and experience

Conférence : Communications avec actes dans un congrès international

The integration of worker behavior profiles
into production systems is essential for improving performance and ensuring efficiency in terms of productivity,
quality, safety, and worker well-being. This paper presents
a model that simultaneously represents worker punctuality,
fatigue, and experience through simulation. A Markov
chain is employed to model punctuality, while fatigue
and experience are captured through some functional
models inspired by the literature. The developed simulator
enables the exploration of multiple experimental scenarios,
illustrating the impact of these factors on production
performance. This provides valuable insights for dynamic
and anticipatory decision-making. The results indicate
that various considerations must be taken into account
when selecting worker profile preferences, highlighting the
importance of worker allocation on operator productivity.
