Researchers have developed a synthetic benchmark and decision-support framework to address the challenge of qualified educational capacity planning. This framework models a service system with heterogeneous support needs, where staff time is limited and qualifications can decay. The system includes scenarios for new support categories, staff absences, and demand surges, comparing various controllers to determine optimal strategies for qualification acquisition and maintenance. A key finding indicates that just-in-time qualification acquisition is most effective when new requirements can be met within the controller's reaction time, while lean static insurance is preferred when training lags exceed this horizon.
