Corresponding author.

Organizations need to focus on many parameters to reach their goals such as personnel satisfaction at the top level, profit maximization, increasing system efficiency and minimizing costs. By carefully examining the significant effect of personnel scheduling on the production of goods and services, achieving a fair distribution of work among the employees paves the way for higher motivation and performance of the employees, particularly, in production and service industries. In this paper, a systematic literature review (SLR) approach is used to demonstrate the necessity of scheduling studies in order to overcome the deficiencies in auxiliary activity groups. It sheds light on a new and very important areas such as examining the model structures of sector differences, and guiding researchers. New trends and approaches are presented for the personnel scheduling problems. Different classification perspectives are displayed.

By carefully examining the significant effect of personnel scheduling on the production of goods and services, achieving a fair distribution of work among the employees paves the way for higher motivation and performance of the employees, particularly, in production and service industries. In this paper, a systematic literature review (SLR) approach is used to demonstrate the necessity of scheduling studies in order to overcome the deficiencies in auxiliary activity groups. It sheds light on a new and very important areas such as examining the model structures of sector differences, and guiding researchers. New trends and approaches are presented for the personnel scheduling problems.

Help Center LITERATURE REVIEW ON PERSONNEL SCHEDULING The problem of personnel or employee scheduling has become increasingly important for both public sectors and private companies. It is an extension to the standard shift scheduling problem with some key limitations. But today, the increased generality of this problem has lead to more complex model due to its size and pure integer nature. So it has proven very difficult to solve optimally. Numerous approaches for modeling and solving this problem have been proposed. Here, we reviewed and classified the literature on personnel scheduling problem. The objective is to identify broad classification, compare different methods and identify the future research directions.

Schumann , Jürgen Sauer Pio Chibuzor This paper presents a review of staff scheduling and rostering, an area that has become increasingly important as business becomes more service oriented and cost conscious in a global environment.Optimised staff schedules can provide enormous benefits, but require carefully implemented decision support systems if an organisation is to meet customer demands in a cost effective manner while satisfying requirements such as flexible workplace agreements, shift equity, staff preferences, and part-time work. In addition, each industry sector has its own set of issues and must be viewed in its own right. There are many computer software packages for staff scheduling, ranging from spreadsheet implementations of manual processes through to mathematical models using efficient optimal or heuristic algorithms. We do not review software packages in this paper. Rather, we review rostering problems in specific application areas, and the models and algorithms that have been reported in the literature for their solution. We also survey commonly used methods for solving rostering problems. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENGINEERING SCIENCES & RESEARCH TECHNOLOGY Ijesrt Journal Personnel Scheduling or rostering problem is an assignment of shifts to employees. An efficient way of crew scheduling can save the scheduling cost for an organizations by means of using minimum manpower. And mostly cost incurred is due to employees assigned for performing a given task so this cost can be saved by optimizing the process of personnel scheduling. This paper describes a tabu search based heuristic algorithm which is applied on bus driver scheduling problem. Solution to this problem is an assignment of duties such that each employee should know when to work and also which task to perform while working. Finding the solution of this problem is minimization of the overall employees needed to cover all the shifts in the schedule and total service time and total scheduling cost while satisfying all the constraints Science Park Research Organization & Counselling Yiping Yang , Keith Sullivan Brazilian Journal of Operations & … Gonzalo Mejía Mohamadreza Pakdel The staffing schedule according to the objectives of the system and minimizing the cost of production is among the most important factors in productivity. Manpower planning as the means of ensuring the human resources needed to achieve the organization's goals and its mathematical modeling is important for planners. Given that to solve staffing timing issue is very time consuming, in this paper, genetic algorithm is used to solve the proposed model. Therefore, many mathematical models have been used to formulate the scheduling in organizations and through a variety of methods have been tried to solve them. Considering the absence right for the personnel is one of the advantages of the proposed model. Since the cost is regarded as damage, the problem has changed to the cover mode. First, parameters and all restrictions are included with respect to information of the problem and modeling is implemented; then, the problem is solved with genetic algorithm. Finally, results of comput... Loading Preview Sorry, preview is currently unavailable. You can download the paper by clicking the button above.
