Staffing requirements

In MyTimePlan, staffing requirements are generally estimated for every hour over a 4-6-week period up to 6-7 weeks before the period begins.

 
The Staffing requirements module is the key to structuring employees’ working hours and free time so that staffing levels will follow demand, resulting in greater productivity.
 


Predicting staffing requirements

Staffing requirement predictions for upcoming periods takes into account staff skills, drawing both on subjective assessments by the managers and historical data on demand for goods or services. The system also takes account of public holidays and other factors. Here is an example showing maximum and minimum staffing levels needed, from hour to hour, for the job “Tomahawk” in Department 1 on Monday, 23 September 2013:
