Summary: | A bus crew-scheduling plan is the most critical part in a
bus operators’ operational information system (IS) as it
involves large resources and cost. This paper proposes a
conceptual framework for an optimum and dynamic crew
scheduling by using the concept of a multi agent system
(MAS) and meta-abilities, The framework suggests that
meta-abilities create influencing skills, sharing attitudes and asking habits amongst the stakeholders of the bus crew
scheduling system. Contrastingly, influencing skills, sharing
attitudes and asking habits externalise tacit knowledge
through the medium of ideas, actions, reactions and
reflection. This externalise tacit knowledge in turn
provides input for the system analyst to update the MAS-
based crew scheduling system. It is concluded that the future focus when developing an optimum and dynamic bus crew
scheduling should be toward an individual ’s meta-abilities
development and MAS approach. There should also be an
impetus towards creating the right organisational culture
and infrastructure that promotes tacit knowledge
externalisation and sharing within and between
stakeholders, |
