摘要:
A system and method for generating a schedule for multiple employees in a complex environment. In one embodiment, the method includes generating a schedule for multiple employees with varying skill sets for a time period, wherein the plurality of employees have varying overlapping skill sets that enable them to perform various tasks, and wherein employees are shared across tasks within the time period. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving a plurality of user inputs to a scheduling program, including a number of employee designations that each refer to a unique employee, and a number of skill sets that each correspond to one of the employee designations. The method further includes receiving a user input that changes the number of employee designations by indicating at least one changed employee, and estimating an effect of the at least one changed employee on effective staffing levels for each of the various tasks. The method further includes generating estimated effective staffing levels for each of the various tasks.

A method and apparatus for long-range planning. One embodiment includes a method for long-range planning for staffing in a complex environment, such as a contact center. The method includes defining at least one employee profile, wherein an employee profile comprises a group of employees that have the same skills, and wherein defining comprises specifying characteristics, including a skill set and an efficiency percentage. The method further includes defining at least one queue, specifying at least one criteria to be satisfied by a long-range staffing plan, and calculating an effect of staffing the at least one queue with the at least one employee profile, wherein the calculated effect includes a service level for the at least one queue, and an effective cost per hour.

A method for improving an agent schedule comprises unscheduling an agent from a shift in the schedule; evaluating a score function for each of a plurality of possible schedules which have the agent scheduled for different possible shifts; and selecting an improved schedule from among the plurality of possible schedules. The improved schedule is characterized by an improved value of the score function. The above steps are repeated until a locally optimal schedule is obtained. The break times in the possible shifts are not necessarily scheduled in the above procedure. In another aspect of the invention, a method is provided for optimal break scheduling. The method includes the steps of unscheduling a break; evaluating a score function for a plurality of possible break times for the break; and selecting an improved break time from the possible break times. The improved break time is characterized by an improved score. In the above procedures, the evaluation of the score function for a possible schedule includes selecting, for each interval in the possible schedule, one of a plurality of predetermined values corresponding to distinct staffing levels.

Various methods and apparatuses for measuring a state parameter of an individual using signals based on one or more sensors are disclosed. In one embodiment, a first set of signals is used in a first function to determine how a second set of signals is used in one or more second functions to predict the state parameter. In another embodiment, first and second functions are used where the state parameter or an indicator of the state parameter may be obtained from a relationship between the first function and the second function. The state parameter may, for example, include calories consumed or calories burned by the individual. Various methods for making such apparatuses are also disclosed.
