Schedule Generation System
Analyzes thousands of shift pattern combinations to find the best match for your production demands.
50 employees, local processing
Detailed system description
Typical Scheduling Challenge
- 50 employees × 20 shifts per month = 1,000 manual Excel entries
- After completion: schedule doesn't match production demand
- Start over, repeat many times
- Result: Scattered schedules, dissatisfied employees
How the System Works
- Define shift patterns in Excel (e.g. 7 days work, 3 days off)
- CP-SAT solver proves the best assignment (patterns + shifts) in seconds
- Each combination is compared against production requirements
- Cost calculated (overtime, night shifts, holidays)
Processing Time
Scenario 1: Patterns Already Assigned
When you've already chosen which pattern each employee gets:
~1 second
System just generates schedule for 50 employees
Scenario 2: Combination Analysis
When system needs to find the best combination:
seconds
Prove the optimal schedule (CP-SAT)

Get Started
Download sample with shift patterns, employee list, and production demand.
Sample includes:
- • Shift patterns (7 days work + 3 off, etc.)
- • List of 50 employees with vacations
- • Production demand (how many per hour)
- • Instructions on how to modify
Shift Pattern Example
Excel Setup
| work_days | break_days | start_hour | end_hour |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | 3 | 6 | 14 |
| 6 | 4 | 14 | 22 |
| 5 | 2 | 22 | 6 |
What This Means
Pattern 1: Work 7 days (6AM-2PM), then 3 days off
Pattern 2: Work 6 days (2PM-10PM), then 4 days off
Pattern 3: Work 5 days (10PM-6AM), then 2 days off
System tries all combinations: which employee gets which pattern, and with how much shift offset.
