Abstract
This paper deals with the Strategic Capacity Planning problem in knowledge intensive organizations (KIOs), particularly in consulting firms. Considering different characteristics such as the organization structure, the workforce characteristics, the capacity requirements, the capacity decisions or the evaluation criteria in a consulting company, a model based on MILP is developed to be applied to a particular case.
Supported by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitivity (project DPI2010-15614).
