Computerized staff scheduling: opportunities and obstacles to success.
Staff scheduling can be a process fraught with failure, drudgery, and frustration. While computerization of staff scheduling can greatly enhance the process, computerization alone is not a panacea. Successful scheduling depends on the existence of effective management systems, including FTE and position control, proper request management, well-defined data, and work-flow and time-line management. The best espresso in the world requires good coffee beans.
