This review says personnel scheduling is "the process of constructing work timetables for staff so that an organisation can satisfy the demand for its goods or services." Authors distinguish between basic scheduling approaches focused on time management to some more sophisticated workforce modeling approaches (incorporating multiple objectives and complex constraints)

This report says that traditional static planning models result in 60% of operating hours being either understaffed or overstaffed, while AI-driven workforce solutions require significantly less time and capture operational changes more efficiently.

Addresses interactive scheduling systems with algorithms that adapt to maximize "worker preference satisfaction" in scheduling decisions, supporting claims about workforce modeling incorporating worker interactivity beyond traditional approaches. Seedee3D (talk) 19:43, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
