A linguistic decision model for personnel management solved with a linguistic biobjective genetic algorithm

Sta selection for the varying activities performed by enterprises requires a coherent approach, which cannot be simplistic, to the information held. The use of exible computation and the vague representation of knowledge available by means of linguistic labels allow the problem to be recognised as it is in real life. This paper is an attempt to supply a satisfactory solution to a real sta management problem with linguistic information presenting a linguistic decision model for personnel problem. For reaching a good solution, a novelty genetic algorithm with a linguistic biobjective tness function is proposed. c © 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All right reserved.
