Solution Overview

Problem

Business entities face challenges in securing required shifts with workers having the necessary skills, especially in industries like retail and restaurants where staff numbers vary by hour, and conventional systems struggle to manage skills effectively in real-time.

Innovation Solution

An employment registrant management system that registers and stores information of employment applicants, obtains skill information from work experience, and provides it in association with registrant information, enabling real-time skill management and appropriate workforce allocation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If conventional systems are used to manage worker skills, then basic employment management is possible, but real-time skill management and appropriate workforce allocation cannot be achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveworkforce allocation efficiencyVSAvoidskill information management
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system transforms skill information from static historical data into dynamic real-time parameters by continuously updating skill profiles based on work history, certifications, and performance data. This enables the system to adapt skill representations to current business needs and shift requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary matching mechanism that connects skill information with shift requirements through automated algorithms. This intermediary layer processes and matches worker skills with business needs, enabling efficient real-time allocation without direct manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If more workers are hired to cover all shifts, then shift coverage is improved, but labor costs and management complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveshift coverageVSAvoidworkforce management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables workers to be universally matched across multiple job types and shifts based on their skill profiles. A single worker can be allocated to different positions and time slots depending on business needs, making the workforce multi-functional and reducing the total number of workers required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements dynamic workforce allocation where worker assignments are continuously optimized based on real-time skill information and shift requirements. This dynamic matching allows the same workforce to adapt to varying shift demands without requiring additional permanent hires.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Measurement precision

If skill management is performed manually, then basic tracking is possible, but real-time updates and accurate skill records cannot be maintained

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveskill information accuracyVSAvoidskill information update time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements continuous automated collection and updating of skill information from multiple sources including work history, certifications, and performance data. This continuous information flow ensures skill records are always current without requiring manual intervention or causing delays.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables automatic self-updating of skill information by integrating with existing business systems and data sources. Worker skills are automatically tracked and updated based on their work activities, eliminating the need for manual self-reporting or administrative updates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A server of an employment registrant management system performs, as its functions, steps of accepting employment recruitment information from the business entity, and presenting the employment recruitment information to the registrants, accepting, from the registrants who request application for the employment recruitment information, employment request information for the employment recruitment information, and presenting the employment request information to the business entity, accepting, from the business entity, employment approval information for approving employment of the registrants related to the accepted employment request information, and presenting the employment approval information to the registrants, obtaining work information indicating that the registrants have been employed related to the employment recruitment information with the employment approval information, and obtaining skill information regarding skills based on the work information, and providing the obtained skill information in association with stored information of the registrants.
