Abstract

A method and a system for efficiently planning resiliency in a work environment based on resiliency parameters for a given definition of service, determining a best allocation plan with resources allocated, and allocating a resource request in a best allocation plan to the requesting source to perform the definition of service.

Claims

1. A method for skill resiliency planning, wherein the method comprises:

receiving a request, wherein the request comprises definition of services;

creating at least one allocation plan based on at least one available resource, at least one resiliency option and the received request;

identifying an optimal allocation plan from the at least one allocation plan, wherein creating the at least one allocation plan comprises;

analyzing the received request, creating a work schedule from the received request, and allocating at least one available resources to accomplish the work schedule, wherein analyzing the request and creating a work schedule comprises;

creating at least one granular service from the received request prior to creating the work schedule, and determining a resiliency option for the at least one of the granular service,

wherein said method further comprises identifying at least one available resource from a repository,

wherein said method further comprises mapping the at least one available resource to an appropriate work schedule,

wherein said method further comprises determining an optimal resource form the at least one available resource identified to the appropriate work schedule,

wherein said method further comprises allocating the optimal resource to the appropriate work schedule,

wherein the resiliency options comprise a set of pre-defined rules,

wherein the resiliency options are dynamically computed based on the received request and previously stored data in the repository, and

wherein said method further comprises assigning the optimal allocation plan to a requesting entity.
