Automatic duty watch scheduler?

[bogan]

Have you asked bunnings?

You simply require slaves.

The Egyptians never had this "roster" issue when the pyramids needed building.

Doesn't seem to be an =slave function in M$ Excel. Bit of an oversight eh

There is if you declare and define it... again much easier in a relational database like sql.

Hi - I am a developer (vba if i really must, but mainly c# / sql server / asp.net). I am currently doing an online scheduling system for 16 sub business and over 350 staff. After months of discussion with the client, it was decided (due to the many variables) that managers will be manually rostering people on shifts.

We tried to put smarts in to make it automatic. For example, need 1 head chef, 2 k/hands, 1 bar manager, 3 front of house for lunch service between 9am and 3pm Sunday. Then allocate skill sets and levels to staff. Then allocate staff to shifts based on these and other factors. It just got to hard for managers to do all the upfront prep for little gain.

My initial thoughts on what you are after is allocation of staff is done by a simple tally system and a way to state when staff are not available. If you want to discuss, please contact david@arisesoftware.co.nz and I will try and give you ideas on what you can do.

Cool.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply - we don´t need anything near as complicated as that. I have seen a lot of scheduling software online and it all seems to be geared at large businesses and is scheduled by the hour. I thought a lot of outfits that share 24 hour call/duty would have the same issue? Ours is a little bit tricky in that everyone takes their leave in the winter and we downsize on people so we can go from a minimum of 2 to a maximum of 12 in the available pool. We actually have 2 duty lists as there are two departments that need to be covered by people with two different skill sets.

hire some fuken gimp to permanently be rostered sat-sun save this rotational horseshit.
