Multiple-Shift Workforce Scheduling Under the 3–4 Workweek with Different Weekday and Weekend Labor Requirements
针对医院、数据中心等一周七天运营的场景，研究在3-4工作周安排下，如何最小化员工总数同时满足工作日和周末的不同人力需求，并给出了一个可手工操作的简单最优算法。
Novel workweek arrangements have gained acceptance in many seven-days-a-week operations, such as hospitals and data processing centers. This note considers a multiple-shift workforce scheduling scenario for seven-days-a-week operations under a workweek arrangement called the 3–4 workweek. Our model seeks to minimize the workforce size subject to satisfying staffing requirements and workrules relating to off-days, off-weekends, and work-stretches. We provide an efficient optimal algorithm which is intuitive and simple enough to be implemented by hand.
