Since the implementation of the Government Procurement Act, procurement of public constructions in Taiwan has been mostly based on fair and public bidding. The bidding of labor procurement related to engineering techniques is usually managed by the construction consulting companies or engineering firms with engineer certificates. Therefore, how to enhance corporate competitiveness and meet the regulations on the contracts and the requirments of proprietors by the limited manpower, proper overtime works and support of outsourcing manpower are critical for the business in the industry and the key points which should be studied by corporate decision makers. Currently, the planning designers and engineering supervisors of special projects undertaken by the firms in Taiwan mostly rely on the experienced manpower. Personnel arrangement and work assignment can be managed upon simple execution of special project contracts. However, in complicated and overlapping construction periods, there can be improper manpower assignment or waste of unnecessary costs. How to fully use human resources and reduce the costs by the optimized personnel assignment is the purpose of this study.
Regarding the method of solution, this study constructs math model of integer planning and quantifies the workload of the projects according to needs and conditions of project planning, design and supervision. Parameters of the conditions are constructed and input in LINGO to directly output the optimized cost analysis. In actual practice, when the conditions are changed, parameters can be flexibly adjusted and personnel assignment can be re-planned. This study treated a simulated small-scale construction consulting company which implements the planning, design and supervision of one special project with contract as an example, and compared the performance of the research model with the experienced manpower assignment. The results confirmed that the model is effective. According to sensitivity analysis, corporate decision makers can actively adjust the number of different types of engineers and salary structure upon the change of parameter sensitivity in order to match the conditions, review the business costs of overall and partial periods, and further consider the transfer or outsourcing of the plans to fully use human resources and reduce the costs. The research model is more suitable for medium and small construction planning, design and supervison organizations to arrange and assign medium and short-term personnel. This study can be flexibly applied to the issues related to personnel assignment with certain practicality.
