| Tiivistelmä: | Although several studies within the dual resource constrained (DRC) job shop literature have investigated issues related to worker flexibility, the costs associated with acquiring and operationalizing this flexibility have been addressed in a limited fashion. This study is aimed at understanding whether cross-training workers in DRC job shops in the presence of worker transfer delays, worker learning effects , and worker attrition improves shop performance. Two worker assignment control rules, and two rules to select the department for the transferring worker, are also tested to understand how workers should be assigned to alternate tasks in different departments. Results from our study indicate that cross-training workers in at least two different departments improves shop performance even when large transfer delays are present. |
