ABSTRACT:
A workflow system (FIG.1) employs a selection engine (114) that attempts to match work items (100) with resources (104) in such a way that it brings the most value to all of the stakeholders in the workflow. Under resource or work-item surplus conditions (FIG.4or5), the selection engine determines either those available resources that possess skills needed by an available work item or those available work items that need skills possessed by an available resource, for each determined resource determines both a business value (RSBV) of having that resource service the work item and either a value (RTV) to that resource of servicing the work item or a value (WTV) to that work item of being serviced by the resource, and then selects the resource that has a best combined value of the business value and the value to the resource or work item.
