| Abstract: | The goal of cyclic manpower scheduling is to construct time-off schedules that meet staffing requirements (assumed to repeat or cycle periodically, say weekly), and satisfy work rule constraints, using the minimal number of workers. Staffing needs are specified in terms of the numbers of workers that must be on duty each day or each shift of a typical week. Formulas are given to find the smallest number and most economical mix of workers, assuming that each worker must have two off-days per week and a given fraction of weekends off. Algorithms are presented which generate a feasible schedule. |
