Exploring of the Consequences of Human Resources Multitasking in Industrial Automation Projects: A Tool to Mitigate Impacts

There are a lot of published works based on AHP applications in different fields, but there is a gap in the field of industrial automation projects and the related project manager's decision making. This study focuses on these decision making process which determines which tasks should be paused or not for a better allocation of resources, taking into account the global environment of a technical company. The tool can be implemented with changing criteria and priority vectors to adapt to different type of projects. Future research could identify additional criteria and sub-criteria with different priority vectors, depending on different project specifications.
