| Abstract: | The problems of scheduling part-time employees so as to maximize employee work-time preferences (time at which the employees are available to work) and simultaneously minimize employee wages is considered. A staff scheduling model and heuristic procedure is proposed to aid in developing schedules. Data collected from a local restaurant and a computer lab are used to validate and illustrate the model. The results show that the use of model considerably simplifies the task of the restaurant/lab manager in developing weekly work schedules. |
