Definition of Workforce Scheduling

Workforce scheduling can help all public or private organisations that need to build employee schedules. It answers the following questions:

  • How can I reduce the amount of time my managers spend scheduling their teams (usually with a spreadsheet)?
  • How can I build optimised schedules that also comply with labour laws and HR company policy?
  • How can I plan ahead to avoid the need for temporary staff or overtime?
  • How can I find solutions for unforeseen events such as workload variations, sick leave and turnover, etc?
  • How can I forecast my staffing needs 6 months or a year out and plan ahead for recruitment, training or staff mobility?

The main features expected from workforce scheduling software include:

  • Short-term staff scheduling (for two weeks or a month for example).
  • Schedule optimisation with an automated scheduling engine.
  • Medium and long term planning (from a few months to a year) for companies with important seasonal variations.

Workforce scheduling is often used in conjunction with activity tracking in order to:

  • Track how much time employees spend on projects or customer orders.
  • Monitor production times (production orders, machines, operators, etc) and logistics activities.
  • Update the ERP effectively.
