Optimization

Optimization for Shift Planning

Due to optimization, work schedules can be distributed amongst the personnel so that the end result is as cost-effective as possible. Optimization can provide the following benefits, for example:

• Periodic working hours are as close to the target number as possible without expensive surpluses or deficits.
• Increased job satisfaction: work and absence requests are considered impartially, free hours are maximized
• The best possible employee is assigned to each job according to expertise and suitability.

Centralization

Automation also enables the centralization of shift planning, even in larger organizations. All the information required for planning is entered into the system precisely: the restrictions caused by legislation, employment agreements and the company’s practices, knowledge of the personnel and the expertise required by various jobs. Centralization helps to standardize practices throughout the organization and frees the supervisors’ time for their core objectives.
