Personnel Management Based on Ontological Modelling

One can currently consider personnel management as one of the auxiliary business processes that ensure the enterprise’s operation. The specificity of this process is an attempt to minimize the role of the human factor in the decision-making process in terms of employees’ horizontal and vertical mobility within the enterprise’s organizational structure. Definitely, in this case it is necessary to take into account a significant number of factors characterizing the professional and other qualities of potential applicants and current personnel, including the level of education, regularity of advanced training, length of service in the field under consideration. People should primarily bear in mind these factors when transferring to a higher category, to related departments with a perspective of promotion, to a managerial position appointment. The authors propose to use the ontological modelling toolkit to form a decision support system for the personnel management. As a result, the given structure for assessing personnel will allow regular monitoring of personnel quality, tracking its dynamics, taking timely measures to improve this quality, predicting the prospects for ensuring this quality in the future, modelling the entry of young specialists with a low level of skills and the retirement of specialists with extensive experience in the industry.
