  • System and method of schedule optimization for long-range staff planning
    Patent number: 11847593
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for determining long-range staff planning. Embodiments include determining a baseline measurement of labor needs over a time period of one or more employees at one or more entities and modifying the baseline measurement of the labor needs over the time period based on one or more constraints that allow the one or more employees to work additional types of labor needs at the one or more entities. Embodiments further include determining working times and job assignments of the one or more employees based on one or more simulated employees that represent potential employees to the modified baseline measurement of the labor needs over the time period and storing the determined working times and job assignments in the database for the one or more employees at the one or more entities.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 27, 2023
    Date of Patent: December 19, 2023
