Abstract
This paper provides efficient optimal workforce scheduling algorithms for 7-days-a-week operations, not necessarily 24 hours a day, under a compressed workweek arrangement called the 3-4 workweek. The model inc orporates both the possibilities of shift rotation and downward worker substitutability. The model is readily usable in many 7-days-a-week o perations (e.g., hospitals and utilities).
