The assignment of tasks to appropriate individuals is the key for success in business management. A pertinent role assignment system creates benefits by optimizing the potentials of every person in a company. To obtain such optimal assignments, quantitative evaluations are the first step. Such evaluations provide good indicators for managers to assign tasks (roles) to human workers manually or mentally. Manage With Success (MWS) is a software product developed by Mr. Sylvain Roy who founded the company (Its legal name is Syl_Roy Management Consulting Inc.). The MWS system assists managers to evaluate their human resources and understand each person's performance within teams. The related visualization tools provide managers with employee profile tracking, employee performance tracking, workplace analysis, employee training, and customer satisfaction tracking. However, the current MWS solution does not support automatic role assignment. Like conventional management tools, MWS can only assist managers to make assignments with manual or mental jobs. It is impossible to obtain an instant optimal assignment of human resources to tasks (or roles) with MWS.Therefore, this proposal provides a new software add-on with efficient algorithms to automate and optimize role assignments. With this new addition, the value of the MWS system will be increased significantly, because the new system will provide automated and optimized role assignment that is not supported by a competitive software product in human resource management in Canada, North America and even in the world. The foundation is in my research on Group Role Assignment Problems (GRAP).
