Abstract

An optimization method is presented for the cyclic labour scheduling problem, in which workers are given three consecutive workdays per week. The dual solution is utilized to calculate the minimum workforce size and days-off assignments that minimize labour cost. Using simple manual calculations, the need for integer programming is eliminated.
