In this paper, we present a mathematical model for cyclic and non-cyclic scheduling of 12 h shift nurses. The model exploits the fact that a nurse's schedule is made up of an alternating sequence of work-stretch and 'off-stretch' patterns. We introduce a concept called a stint, which is a pattern ch

Considering a decision support system as a tool where executive's judgment can be included along with the mathematical tool kit of the management scientist, this paper shows the need to include problem management as an integral component of the decision support system for scheduling problems. A meth
Fifteen female nurses, aged between 21 and 29 years and employed in an intensive care unit, were examined with the aim of evaluating their psychophysical adaptation to one of the most commonly used, rapidly rotating shift systems, the "metropolitan rota" ( 2-2-2-2), with the length of the shifts mod
