Abstract:

Employee scheduling is a common problem in most organizations, either from the service sector or industrial plants. It seeks to assign employees to tasks, work shifts or rest periods, taking into account organizational and legal rules, employees' skills and preferences, demand needs, and other applicable requirements. So it is a complex problem and a top concern for human resource management. Mostly it is done manually in several activity sectors, consuming time and resources. This paper compares the methodology followed in a palm oil industry in scheduling the employees and suggests an improved way based on the suitability of the employees towards specific tasks. The quality of work done is analyzed by calculating the quality metric value. The employees needed for each task are analyzed by the method of linear programming.
