In Industry 4.0 the optimal allocation of a pool of available workers is a very important issue. Solving this problem can improve the performance of the company and the life of workers with positive returns on productivity. Moreover, from a computational perspective, this problem is extremely interesting because it could have a combinatorial explosion and become very hard to solve. In this paper, a mathematical model applied to a real business case is presented. Some preliminary tests and results are discussed.
