5. Critical View and Conclusions
There is not so much proliferation of literature on the topic of worker allocation, it can be said that the WA
technique requires a lot of work because now a day’s many of the applications of FMS requires optimum allocation
of resources and WA is one among them which is very effective to discuss for complete results. A categorization of
the publications shows that several aspects of worker allocation along with many interesting and diversified
applications are having equal importance to the area of flexible manufacturing systems.
This study of publications can serve a great deal towards quality improvement & review of 100 papers will help to
understand the WA problem in a better way and definitely provide solutions for the same as WA is a key resource
element in flexible manufacturing system. A small example of its effectiveness is that when the authors visited many
small scale industries in the nearby area of Faridabad, then there the authors have seen that these industries were not
giving any kind of preference to these matters. But when the same thing is observed on the large scale industries,
they had told the authors that they were adopting these practices since many years and one of the example they have
shared that in earlier times they were hiring the male candidates for the pick and place attachments & after a
thorough study it was observed that when the female candidates was adopted for the same purpose then they were at
very much ease as compare to their counterparts because of their fine edges of the forefingers.
Recently a leading automobile manufacturer in India faced similar problems due to lack of managing capabilities in
worker allocation. Still for some of the companies it may be a very high investment issue to implement the worker
