Abstract

The problem of high-performance allocation of tasks between executives, where the competence of each for implementation of tasks is specified in the form of fuzzy relations, is considered. Maximization of the aggregated degree of competence of the entire allocation and maximization of the degree of the overall level of employment of standard executives are the optimization criteria. Aggregation is performed by means of the Hurwicz operator and the Ordered Weighted Average (OWA) operator. A two-stage heuristic algorithm is proposed for the solution of the problem. An analysis of different algorithms and assessment of the results of computational experiments is conducted.
