Workforce Flexibility Optimization in Chemical Plant Construction Process

Abstract:

Enterprise flexibility is a very important factor for the development of a company which facing a dynamic unpredictable market environment. Workforce flexibility has a determining effect in making a system flexible. The chemical plant construction project characteristic was analyzed, pointed out some unreasonable status of the workforce flexibility during the construction process, and presented a new way through functional and numerical flexibility analysis to optimize the workforce flexibility in an equipment installation project case. Some good advice to improve workforce flexibility is presented.
