Zusammenfassung:A system for scheduling servers is provided. The system receives a scheduling period, staffing requirements in planning intervals during the scheduling period, skill groups with one or more servers in each skill group, location, tour group, shift templates and associated scheduling rules for each server to be scheduled. The system generates a Mixed Integer Linear Programming model using this information. The system continues searching feasible solutions to the Mixed Linear Integer Programming model until one or more stopping criteria are satisfied by a terminal solution. The system generates detailed server schedules using the terminal solution to the Mixed Integer Linear Programming model.
