Scheduling IT Staff at a Bank: A Mathematical Programming Approach

Read this article, which addresses staffing optimization. What are some of the scheduling models associated with personnel scheduling? Compare and contrast each to flesh out the pros and cons.

4. Model Formulation

The staff scheduling problem has been formulated as a multiobjective programming model. Considering the fact that some of the constraints might be conflicting, however, the model will try to reduce these violations by minimizing the number of overtimes and maximizing the preferences of the staff.
