An Organizational Perspective of Human Resource Modeling

Abstract

Although Industry 4.0 improved humanmachine relationship in technical aspects, it failed to put human needs at the focus of the production process. Industry 5.0 is complementing the Industry 4.0 focusing on the workers’ skills, knowledge, and abilities to cooperate with machines and robots. In our previous research, we proposed a framework for the formal description and automatic execution of production processes within Industry 4.0. As a result, a Domain-Specific Modeling Language (DSML) named Multi-Level Production Process Modeling Language (MultiProLan) was created aimed at modeling production processes at different levels of abstraction. The importance given to the workers within Industry 5.0 motivated us to investigate two different roles of a human worker: as an employee within an organization and as a human production resource. We propose a DSML named HResModLan aimed at human resource modeling from two different perspectives: organizational and production. The part of HResModLan language representing the organizational perspective is presented in this paper. The main goal of its creation is to enable the easier and more effective requiring, selection, hiring and development of employees within an organization. The paper presents an analysis of the human resource domain, abstract and concrete syntaxes of the HResModLan language, and a model of a furniture factory and its employees expressed using theconcepts of the HResModLan language.
