Abstract
Modeling of worker's skill is important to plan worker development. This paper deals with an application of the worker model to workers' training plan in production scheduling. As of skillful work such as maintenance, only technical experts who have reached a certain level are allowed to execute the tasks. Because the number of certified workers effects on the production efficiency, the training plan is an important factor for long-term production management. In previous work, an agent-based scheduling system that distributes tasks to workers considering workers' training plan has been developed. In this paper, the effect of the learning factor that can control OJT frequency and the long-term change of the number of certified workers are discussed with some case studies by using the prototype system.
