• Activity Modelling
• IDEF-based approach
• Attributes (duration, note, description, learning
  factor, etc.)
• Flows (relationships between activities)
• Alternatives Modelling OR nodes and recycles
• Resources
• Professional Figures description
• Competencies profile
• Category (role or position)
• Activities required effort
• quantity
• Assignment period

project alternatives
User Project Manager

• Time analysis
• Generation of project GANTT chart
• Workload profile for resources
• Infinte capacity scheduling (profile by profile)
• Costs and Effort calculation
• Total effort for each generated project
  alternative
• Total cost for each activity
• Resource Cost details (by position and by profile)

SKILLPLAN SolutionResource Assignment
User Resource Manager
Resources Assignment (phisical persons) and
support for conflicts resolution

• MULTI-PROJECT Environment
• Assignment scheduling of the modelled projects
• Optimization in the case of conflicts, overload
• Best-fit assignment, based on requested
  competencies (minimization of the gap between
  requested profiles and available candidates)
• According to the resources availability (knowing
  that there could be projects already in progress
  involving the same persons)

SKILLPLAN solution Project Scheduling
User Resource Manager

• Project scheduling
• Resource scheduling
• Time limited
• Resource Limited
• The project is ready for the actuation
• XML interface (WfMC compliant for Work-Flow
  systems)
• In the same way (XML interface), it is possible
  to import Progress data

SKILLPLAN in ECOLEAD
A memeber in the VBE sees a new
It will start to act as the broker of the new
process
9
SKILLPLAN in ECOLEAD
Broker starts to design the process needed in
order to carry out the business.He breaks the
process down in terms of ACTIVITIES.
10
SKILLPLAN in ECOLEAD

• For the whole process the broker should specify
• Wished Start date, End date.
• Time lag.
• Trustability rate thresold
• etc.

11
SKILLPLAN in ECOLEAD

• For each activity the broker should specify
• Duration
• Skills, resources, productivity capacity and
  competencies required.
• If the activity can be carried out by more than
  one VBE member.
• Possible constraints
• Etc.

12
SKILLPLAN in ECOLEAD
Infinite capacity scheduling is realised. A
preliminary plan is obtained.
13
SKILLPLAN in ECOLEAD
The partner search tool will give, for each
activity, a list of possible partners that
satisfies constraints previously set. For each
possible partners reability,trustability, costs,
available workload and time period interval are
provided
14
SKILLPLAN in ECOLEAD
Now a more refined schedule can be performed. As
output a set of possible plans (simulations) are
provided.
15
SKILLPLAN in ECOLEAD
Having selected a plan, contract negotiations can
start.
16
SKILLPLAN in ECOLEAD
VO has been established. Plan of activities and
rules should be passed to the tools to be
developed in WP3 (VO management)
17
SKILLPLAN in ECOLEAD
TXT SKILLPLAN, revised, could support the marked
phases of the VO Creation process.
