Disclosed is a computer-implemented planning process that aids a system administrator in the task of creating a job schedule. The process treats enterprise computing resources as a grid of resources, which provides greater flexibility in assigning resources to jobs. During the planning process, an administrator or other user, or software, builds a job-dependency tree. Jobs are then ranked according to priority, pickiness, and network centricity. Difficult and problematic jobs then are assigned resources and scheduled first, with less difficult jobs assigned resources and scheduled afterwards. The resources assigned to the most problematic jobs then are changed iteratively to determine if the plan improves. This iterative approach not only increases the efficiency of the original job schedule, but also allows the planning process to react and adapt to new, ad-hoc jobs, as well as unexpected interruptions in resource availability.

A constraint-based framework models and solves the problem of assigning staff, for example a set of cardiologists, to various work-shifts or work-assignments, for example a day shift and a night shift, for a pre-defined scheduling horizon, for example three months. A work-schedule is produced, which is defined as a list of staff-shift or staff-assignment combinations that meet the various criteria set by the staff and the healthcare facility on how the staff need to work. The staff then uses this work-schedule to perform the needed activities for the amount of time specified by the scheduling horizon. The scheduling problem is modeled with the help of constraints and variables to express the physical constraints specified by the staff on their work schedules and the needs of the healthcare facility. By embedding the scheduling model within a software program, a work-schedule is produced quickly that meets the requirements of the staff and the healthcare facility.

An employee, such as a call center agent, is monitored for compliance with a work schedule based on their work location. The call center agent's physical location is periodically monitored by a schedule adherence system that includes a mobile device executing a mobile application. Location information associated with that agent is compared with location information when the agent is working during their scheduled shift. A significant deviation from the known location may be reported as a potential deviation from a defined work schedule for that employee. The call center agent can also be monitored prior to the beginning of a shift to determine if the agent will be arriving at work in time to begin their shift as scheduled. Substitute agents may be scheduled and notified in time to fill the position of the late agent.

A process for streamlining job plans for a work management system using parameterized templates is presented. The parameterization of job tasks and any ancillary components allows job plans to be consolidated into job plan templates. Various job plan instances can then be configured using such a template, representing the various configurations of a class of asset. The advantage of this approach is reducing the volume of material that must be maintained for potentially mission critical, safety critical job plans. Furthermore, it allows for the generation of fine-grain job plans for the various subclasses of an asset. Ultimately, it enables an organization to shift focus towards developing the best possible job tasks, which are then reused to develop the best possible job plans.
