Abstract: Many manufacturing and service organizations in Europe have used annualized hours, also known as flexiyear, to successfully tackle seasonal demand. Under annualized hours, the employer has a certain number of labor hours available in a year and the employer can allocate the hours over the year according to manpower need. A problem in planning for annualized hours is the scheduling of the workforce over the year. We present an algorithm to generate an annual schedule for a scenario in which a facility operates one or more shifts and manpower need may vary from week to week. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
