Workforce Scheduling Problem

In this example, you’ll learn how to solve a critical, central problem in the services industry: workforce scheduling. We’ll demonstrate how you can use mathematical optimization to generate an optimal workforce schedule that meets your business requirements, maximizes employee fairness and satisfaction, and minimizes the number of temporary workers your company needs to hire.

This modeling example is at the advanced level, where we assume that you know Python and the Gurobi Python API and that you have advanced knowledge of building mathematical optimization models. Typically, the objective function and/or constraints of these examples are complex or require advanced features of the Gurobi Python API.
