Description

Intelligent scheduling system and its implementation method

An intelligent scheduling system, especially an employee calendar that can retrieve all employees, distinguish each employee's available schedule, and then generate a company schedule based on the available schedule, and the intelligent scheduling system can After debugging and optimizing according to a shift rule (such as labor regulations), the company shift schedule is remitted to the smart shift system of the employee calendar.

According to the general shift work system (shift work) industries are mostly manufacturing, warehousing and communications, transportation, healthcare services, security, and catering. Companies that use shift work usually arrange shift schedules in advance So that employees can follow the shift schedule. However, with the increase in the number of employees in the company, the current scheduling operations rely on the human resource management system (EHR) to arrange employee shift time. Please refer to China Invention Patent No. CN102622658A "Human Resource Management System" "It is mainly to build an enterprise server to manage the attendance system through the enterprise server. The attendance system includes the shift system, abnormal attendance, vacation system, overtime system, and allowance system. The shift schedule is automatically generated through the enterprise server. There are other patents for reference: (1) Chinese Patent No. CN106952079A "Automatic Shift Schedule System"; (2) Chinese Patent No. CN106709693A "Method and device for realizing automatic scheduling"; (3) Chinese Patent No. CN101101653A "Dynamic Workflow Scheduling"; (4) US Patent No. US20170300640A1 "Managed service provider system for collaborative healthcare credentialing, compliance, and scheduling across shared suppliers"; (5) US Patent No. US20150170106A1 "Employee incentive program"; (6) US Patent No. US20180218332A1 "Categorized time designation on calendars".

Although the existing human resource management system (EHR) can automatically arrange company shift schedules through the system, the mandatory schedules arranged by the system are not acceptable to all employees. Therefore, some employees will exchange shift schedules with others privately. The resource management system cannot obtain notifications. Therefore, when the company management side reads the company's shift schedule, it cannot obtain the shift information that meets the actual situation. This causes great worries in the company management. For example, when employees transfer shifts without notification, If a major incident occurs during the shift of the company, the company management cannot know the facts of the shift when they read the company shift schedule, so it may not be able to make correct punishments. Moreover, employees generally do not understand the working hours regulations, so Private shifts are more likely to violate laws and regulations, which will expose the company to the risk of being punished by regulations. From this, it can be seen that the design meets the expectations of employees, and the facts of shifts can be grasped in time and comply with the law. A standardized system is a problem to be solved.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the inventor of the present invention made amendments to the scheduling system based on years of experience in related industries; for this reason, the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for capturing employees’ personal calendars and automatically arranging company shifts. Intelligent scheduling system and its implementation method.

In order to achieve the above objectives, the intelligent scheduling system and its implementation method in the present invention mainly have an intelligent scheduling system. After the intelligent scheduling system is connected with at least one external calendar server, the intelligent The shift scheduling system can retrieve at least one employee’s calendar, and analyze each employee’s calendar to find at least one shiftable time, and generate a company shift table based on the shiftable time. In addition, the intelligent shifting system can help the company Debug and optimize the shift schedule, and then remit the company shift schedule back to the employee calendar of each employee. In addition, for the creation and change of the company shift schedule, the shift module can issue a confirmation message to a management terminal information device to enable the company to manage The terminal can grasp the change situation of the company's shift schedule for decision-making. In addition, the intelligent scheduling system can also perform manpower matching through a manpower matching module to fill the vacant shift schedule and increase the flexibility of scheduling. Furthermore, intelligent scheduling Any changes made by the system and employees to the company's shift schedule can be recorded by the intelligent scheduling system as a logfile. When a dispute occurs in the future, the company management and employees can request the logfile as a proof.

The intelligent scheduling system can further connect information to a human matching server. By publishing a job vacancy information to the human matching server, the intelligent scheduling system can make up for the shortage of manpower or temporary leave of employees.

The intelligent scheduling system can count the working hours of each employee, analyze the working hours and overtime work hours of each employee, and can further save it as a working hour record file. Furthermore, the intelligent scheduling system can also base on the working hour record The file calculates the salary of each employee.
