A web application for assigning tasks to available human personnel. It may consider any kind of tasks; however, it was built for the purpose of efficiently scheduling cleaning tasks with a limited amount of cleaning personnel for a given number of hotels and other accommodation establishments. It considers the working hours of the personnel, their location and travel time, accommodation needs, and costs.
The platform user interface are used for data entry of the avaialbe accomodations, and the clearners. It also used to assign tasks to each cleaner with a list of accomodations that require cleaning services. The UI was developed usning Angular.
The backned is a set of endpoints used to provide access to data and integrate with the planning algorithm.
The planning algorithm is a multi-criteria planning algorithm based on Google OR-Tools and is capable of considering temporal, spatial and other criteria in order to calculate the most appropriate solution.
Authentication and authorization were developed using Spring security and based on the principles of the OAuth 2.0 protocol.
01.
The platform consists of two main parts. The role-based user interface with different visualizations and information regarding the daily cleaning plan. The backend service provides the mechanisms for authentication, authorization, and data access. In addition, the backend components are responsible for communicating the scheduling problem in an appropriate format to the scheduling algorithm. Lastly, integration with Discrete Simulation Tools is possible to facilitate testing.
