    Staff Task-Based Shift Scheduling Solution with an ANP and Goal Programming Method in a Natural Gas Combined Cycle Power Plant
    (2019) Ozder, Emir Huseyin; Ozcan, Evrencan; Eren, Tamer; 0000-0002-1895-8060; Q-4772-2017
    Shift scheduling problems (SSPs) are advanced NP-hard problems which are generally evaluated with integer programming. This study presents an applicable shift schedule of workers in a large-scale natural gas combined cycle power plant (NGCCPP), which realize 35.17% of the total electricity generation in Turkey alone, as at of the end of 2018. This study included 80 workers who worked three shifts in the selected NGCCPP for 30 days. The proposed scheduling model was solved according to the skills of the workers, and there were nine criteria by which the workers were evaluated for their abilities. Analytic network process (ANP) is a method used for obtaining the weights of workers' abilities in a particular skill. These weights are used in the proposed scheduling model as concepts in goal programming (GP). The SSP-ANP-GP model sees employees' everyday preferences as their main feature, bringing high-performance to the highest level, and bringing an objective functionality, and lowering the lowest success of daily choice. At the same time, the model introduced large-scale and soft constraints that reflect the nature of the shift requirements of this program by specifying the most appropriate program. The required data were obtained from the selected NGCCPP and the model solutions were approved by the plant experts. The SSP-ANP-GP model was resolved at a reasonable time. Monthly acquisition time was significantly reduced, and the satisfaction of the employees was significantly increased by using the obtained program. When past studies were examined, it was determined that a shift scheduling problem of this size in the energy sector had not previously been studied.

    Sustainable Personnel Scheduling Problem Optimization in a Natural Gas Combined-Cycle Power Plant
    (2019) Ozder, Emir Huseyin; Ozcan, Evrencan; Eren, Tamer; 0000-0002-1895-8060; Q-4772-2017
    This paper deals with a sustainable personnel scheduling problem of personnel working in a large-scale natural gas combined-cycle power plant in Turkey. The proposed model focuses on employee complaints due to unfair work schedules and the results of balanced assignments based on power plant interruptions. Eighty personnel work in three shifts at this natural gas combined-cycle power plant. The model is solved with respect to some of the workers' skills, and there are 20 criteria regarding skills. The analytic network process method is used to get the weights of workers' skills, which are calculated and included in the model. Goal programming is used in this paper. Our proposed model gives cost minimization and fair work schedules for the power plant. Compared with the literature, the number and set of criteria are unique in terms of personnel competency in the energy sector. Minimizing cost and imbalanced assignments was achieved by the proposed model for the first time without considering the sector.

    Course Selection with AHP & PROMETHEE Methods for Post Graduate Students: An Application in Kirikkale University Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences
    (2016) Bedir, Neset; Ozder, Emir Huseyin; Eren, Tamer; 0000-0002-1895-8060; AAU-1584-2021
    Post Graduate Study has a very important role in people's career planning. Besides, it helps for gaining expertising on their fields. Specializing must be in the right area to reach their targets in line with people's interests. The aim of the study is to propose a model for students that determines which courses will be chosen on master course selection and this model gives an application example. In this study, course selection problem is discussed for post graduate students in Industrial Engineering Department of Kirikkale University. All criteria that are effected for selecting a course are identified by the help of survey then, significance levels are determined with using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) which is a Multi-Criteria Decision Making Method. According to the weights which are determined before in AHP results, six classes weighted by PROMETHEE method in Industrial Engineering Department.
