Description

Electronic device and method for managing employee work schedules

This disclosure relates to an electronic device and method for managing work schedules by reflecting employees' vacation conditions.

The typical working style of workers represented by the five-day workweek is to have the weekend as a day off and work during the week. However, depending on the type of work, it may not be appropriate to allocate such fixed days off to some workers. For example, in the case of workers engaged in delivery work, there is a need to adjust rest days more flexibly due to the nature of the work, which requires deliveries to be made even on weekends.

However, if all workers take time off whenever they want, in some cases, time off may be concentrated at some points, making it difficult for work to be carried out normally. Accordingly, there is a need for an efficient way to manage workers' schedules by actively reflecting workers' preferred days off while taking into account workload, work regulations, etc.

In this regard, prior documents such as JP2008-181289A and JP5125907B2 may be referred to.

Referring to FIG. 1, the work schedule management system 100 according to one embodiment includes an electronic device 110, an employee terminal 120, and an employee management server 130. In this regard, those skilled in the art can understand that other general-purpose components may be included in addition to the components shown in FIG. 1.

Based on information about the employees' work, the electronic device 110 generates a work schedule to be applied to the employees so as to reflect the employees' vacation conditions and avoid disruption to their work. Although the electronic device 110 in FIG. 1 is shown as a separate entity from the employee management server 130 through which the generated work schedule is distributed, this is an example, and depending on the embodiment, the electronic device 110 may be an employee management server. It may be a device or part included in (130).

The employee terminal 120 can view the work schedule through a site or application to which the employee has been granted access, and can set search conditions within the work schedule to view the work schedule, including the employees' vacation conditions for a certain period of time. You can. At this time, depending on the employee's account connected to the site or application, viewing of the work schedule for some employees may not be permitted.

Meanwhile, the employee terminal 120 may request a change in work schedule through the relevant site or application. For example, Employee A may request a change in work schedule by accessing his/her account on the employee application through his/her terminal and requesting to change his/her currently set holiday day to another date.

The employee management server 130 can provide services such as viewing and changing work schedules to employees through a work schedule management platform. In one embodiment, the employee management server 130 may provide an application for the above-described service to the employee terminal 120, and execute the application to enable the employee terminal 120 connected to the employee management server 130. Through this, services such as viewing and changing work schedules can be provided. In this regard, the application provided by the employee management server 130 is installed on the employee terminal 120, and some of the calculations for the above-mentioned service are processed in the employee terminal 120, and the remaining part is processed outside the employee terminal 120. It may be driven to process on a server (for example, the electronic device 110 or the employee management server 130, etc.).

Meanwhile, the electronic device 110, employee terminal 120, and employee management server 130 may communicate with each other within the network 140. The network 140 includes a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), a value added network (VAN), a mobile radio communication network, a satellite communication network, and their respective networks. It is a comprehensive data communication network that includes a combination and allows each network constituent shown in FIG. 1 to communicate smoothly with each other, and may include wired Internet, wireless Internet, and mobile wireless communication network. Wireless communications include, for example, wireless LAN (Wi-Fi), Bluetooth, Bluetooth low energy, ZigBee, WFD (Wi-Fi Direct), UWB (ultra wideband), and infrared communication (IrDA, infrared Data Association). ), NFC (Near Field Communication), etc., but are not limited thereto.

In relation to the above, it will be described in more detail through the drawings below. The methods shown in FIGS. 2 to 7 may be performed, for example, by the electronic device 110 described above.

In step S210, the electronic device 110 obtains expected workload information and supplementary personnel information for each work group.

According to one embodiment, the electronic device 110 acquires expected workload information and supplementary personnel information for each work group based on the work group determined based on at least one of work time zone, work branch, work type, and work skill level. You can.

As an example in the above embodiment, the work time zone among the determining factors of the work group may include the daytime work time zone and the night work time zone. Also, as another example, for a three-shift type of work, the work hours may include a morning shift, an evening shift, and a night shift. However, this is an example, and the working hours can be set in various ways by classifying the 24 hours that make up a day based on arbitrary criteria (for example, the night shift from 10 PM to 8 AM the next day is Wave 1, and the 8 AM shift is Wave 1). You can also set the weekly tide until 10 PM on the same day as Wave2).

Additionally, as an example in the above embodiment, the work point among the determining factors of the work group may be a unit of an area in the administrative district where the work place is located, or may be a unit of an individual work place where actual work is performed. For example, in the case of a logistics center where products to be delivered are received, sorted, and then shipped, the work group may be determined by considering the center identification code assigned to each logistics center to represent the work point.

Additionally, as an example in the above embodiment, the work type among the determining factors of the work group may include delivery work and intra-branch logistics work. However, this is an example, and the work type may include various other types of work. For example, work types may include different types of delivery work, such as general delivery, early morning delivery, and delivery using your own vehicle, and intra-branch logistics work such as forklift driving work, product sorting work, and pallet inspection work. etc. may be included separately. Furthermore, in addition to delivery work and intra-branch logistics work, additional types of work (e.g., outside work, infectious disease prevention work, safety training work, etc.) can be used as work types that are a determining factor in work groups.

Additionally, as an example in the above embodiment, work proficiency among the determining factors of a work group may include a beginner status and a skilled status. Depending on the embodiment, in addition to the beginner status and the expert status, the intermediate (Lite) status may be used as a work proficiency level that is a determining factor of the work group. However, this is an example, and work proficiency may include various other stages, and depending on the embodiment, it may be calculated as a score based on a perfect score of N rather than several stages (in this case, N is a natural number).

Meanwhile, according to one embodiment, when acquiring expected workload information for each work group, the electronic device 110 may obtain information including expected workload information for each day within each work group. For example, the electronic device 110 may obtain the number of daily deliveries to be delivered by each work group corresponding to delivery work as expected workload information, and the number of daily products to be processed by each work group corresponding to in-branch logistics work. can also be obtained as expected workload information.

Meanwhile, according to one embodiment, when acquiring supplementary personnel information for each work group, the electronic device 110 may obtain information including information on daily personnel other than temporarily recruited employees for each work group. For example, the electronic device 110 may obtain the daily number of temporarily recruited employees in each work group in addition to contract employees and regular employees as supplementary personnel information.

Meanwhile, the electronic device 110 may receive and obtain expected workload information and supplementary personnel information for each work group from the employee management server 130. However, the electronic device 110 may receive information directly from the manager, or the manager may send information related to the electronic device 110. Expected workload information and supplementary personnel information can also be obtained by uploading data.

In step S220, the electronic device 110 sets the attendance target for employees for each work group based on the expected workload information and supplementary personnel information for each work group.

According to one embodiment, the electronic device 110 sets the minimum attendance or minimum attendance percentage that can handle the maximum workload calculated according to the expected workload information and supplementary personnel information for each work group as the attendance target for employees for each work group. You can. At this time, as an example, the 'minimum attendance number or minimum attendance percentage that can handle the maximum workload' may be calculated by referring to a matching table of workload-attendance number or workload-attendance percentage. As another example, 'minimum attendance or minimum attendance percentage that can handle the maximum workload' may be calculated based on a function with workload as an independent variable and attendance or attendance percentage as a dependent variable (result value).

More specifically, the minimum attendance percentage may be set based on the ratio of the minimum attendance to the expected available number of people for each work group. For example, the minimum attendance percentage can be calculated by dividing the minimum attendance for each work group by the expected number of available people for each work group and multiplying it by 100.

According to another embodiment, the electronic device 110 may set the attendance target value to the number of people calculated by adding the above-mentioned minimum attendance number to the preset number of spare people. At this time, the number of spare personnel may be determined based on at least one of work time zone, work location, work type, and work skill level.

Meanwhile, according to another embodiment, the electronic device 110 may set the attendance target value as a percentage obtained by adding the above-mentioned minimum attendance percentage to a preset margin percentage. At this time, the margin percentage may be determined based on at least one of work time zone, work location, work type, and work skill level.

In step S230, the electronic device 110 creates work schedules for employees for each work group based on the attendance target and preset work regulation conditions.

According to one embodiment, when considering work regulation conditions to create a work schedule, the electronic device 110 includes at least one of a minimum number of non-working days per week, a maximum number of consecutive work days, and a preferred number of non-working days for each employee. You can create work schedules for employees by work group based on conditions.

As an example in the above embodiment, the minimum number of days off per week may be conditioned on the condition that at least two days off per week are granted to each employee. In this case, when creating work schedules for employees in each work group, the electronic device 110 has a constraint to create work schedules so that all employees in each work group have at least two or more days off per week.

Additionally, as an example in the above embodiment, the maximum number of consecutive working days may be conditioned on the condition that the number of consecutive working days for each employee cannot exceed 8 days. In this case, when creating work schedules for employees in each work group, the electronic device 110 has the limitation of creating work schedules so that all employees in each work group can work continuously for up to 7 days.

Additionally, as an example in the above embodiment, the preferred holiday day condition for each employee may be set to reflect the preferred holiday day for each employee at least once a month. In this case, the electronic device 110 is constrained in creating work schedules for employees in each work group so that all employees in each work group can rest on their preferred day off once a month. has

According to an additional embodiment, the electronic device 110 generates a work schedule based on the attendance target and preset work regulation conditions, but if there is no work schedule that satisfies all work regulation conditions, it configures the work regulation conditions. A work schedule can be created by taking into account the pre-set priorities among the detailed conditions, the pre-set priorities among employees belonging to the same work group, and excluding the lower-priority detailed conditions from consideration.

For example, if there is no work schedule that satisfies all work regulation conditions, the electronic device 110 places the minimum number of days off per week as first priority, the condition as the maximum number of consecutive work days as second priority, and the condition for preferred days off for each employee. You can create a work schedule by considering the 3rd priority.

Meanwhile, according to one embodiment, when creating a work schedule, the electronic device 110 satisfies the preset work regulation conditions and sets a gap between the expected attendance of employees for each work group according to the work schedule and the set attendance target. The work schedule that satisfies these preset conditions can be determined as the final work schedule. In this regard, this will be described in more detail later with reference to FIG. 3 below.

In step S310, the electronic device 110 creates a candidate work schedule by setting employees' non-working days for each work group to meet preset work regulation conditions.

According to one embodiment, the electronic device 110 may generate a plurality of candidate work schedules, but if the generated candidate work schedule is unique, the electronic device 110 may immediately determine the candidate work schedule as the final work schedule, which will be described later.

In step S320, the electronic device 110 calculates the expected attendance of employees according to the generated candidate work schedule for each work group.

According to one embodiment, when applying the generated candidate work schedule, the electronic device 110 may calculate the expected attendance number or expected attendance percentage of employees for each work group as the employees' expected attendance. At this time, the electronic device 110 may calculate the expected attendance percentage of employees based on the ratio of the expected number of employees in each work group to the expected number of available employees in each work group.

For example, the electronic device 110 may calculate the number of employees expected to come to work on each day as the expected number of employees by reflecting the employees' non-working days according to the work schedule for each work group.

In step S330, the electronic device 110 calculates a gap between the set attendance target and the calculated attendance estimate for each work group.

According to one embodiment, the electronic device 110 may calculate the gap by subtracting the expected attendance from the attendance target. However, depending on the embodiment, the gap may be calculated by taking the absolute value of the difference between the expected attendance and the attendance target. there is.

According to one embodiment, when the expected attendance value is greater than the attendance target value, the electronic device 110 calculates the gap between the attendance target value and the expected attendance value as 0 and immediately omits performing steps S340 and S350, which will be described later, to obtain the corresponding attendance estimate value. The candidate work schedule corresponding to can be determined as the final work schedule.

In step S340, the electronic device 110 determines whether steps S310 to S330 have been repeatedly performed a preset number of times.

According to one embodiment, the number of repetitions determined in step S340 may mean a 'batch number' set in advance by the administrator. In this case, the electronic device 110 may generate a candidate work schedule for the number of batches previously set by the manager through step S310, calculate the attendance estimate according to the performance of the above-described step S320, and perform step S330. Calculation of the gap according to the number of batches can also be made. For example, if the number of batches is set to 100 in advance, the electronic device 110 can generate a total of 100 candidate work schedules by arbitrarily setting employees' non-working days to meet work regulation conditions. However, if the number of candidate work schedules that can be created is less than the preset number of batches, the electronic device 110 may generate as many candidate work schedules as can be created. At this time, depending on the embodiment, the electronic device 110 may provide a message notifying that the number of candidate work schedules that can be created is less than the set number of batches through its own output unit or linked display, and the message may be It can be provided in various forms such as new pages, pop-up windows, SMS, SNS, etc.

In step S350, when it is determined that steps S310 to S330 have been repeated a preset number of times, the electronic device 110 checks whether a gap satisfying a preset condition exists among the gaps calculated as a result of the repeated performance.

Meanwhile, when it is determined that steps S310 to S330 have not been repeated a preset number of times, the electronic device 110 re-performs steps S310 to S330 described above.

According to one embodiment, when performing step S350, the electronic device 110 may check whether a gap with a value less than or equal to a preset threshold exists among the gaps calculated as a result of repeated performance.

According to another embodiment, when performing step S350, the electronic device 110 checks whether a gap with a value less than or equal to a preset threshold exists among the gaps calculated as a result of repeated performance, and determines whether a gap with a value less than or equal to the threshold exists. When a plurality of gaps exist, the gap with the minimum value among the plurality of gaps may be determined as a 'gap that satisfies the condition'.

According to another embodiment, when performing step S350, the electronic device 110 may determine that the gap with the minimum value among the gaps calculated as a result of repeated performance is a 'gap that satisfies the condition.'

In step S360, if there is a gap that satisfies a preset condition among the gaps calculated as a result of the repeated performance, the electronic device 110 creates a candidate work schedule corresponding to the gap that satisfies the preset condition to the final schedule of employees for each work group. Decide based on your work schedule.

Meanwhile, if steps S310 to S330 are repeated a preset number of times, but there is no gap that satisfies the preset condition among the gaps calculated as a result of the repeated performance, the electronic device 110 performs the steps S310 to S330 described above. Perform again.

According to one embodiment, when there are a plurality of gaps that satisfy preset conditions among the gaps calculated as a result of repeated performance, the electronic device 110 selects a preferred day off for each employee from among the candidate work schedules corresponding to each of the plurality of gaps. The candidate work schedule with the highest reflection rate can be determined as the final work schedule.

In step S410, the electronic device 110 obtains expected workload information and supplementary personnel information for each work group.

In step S420, the electronic device 110 sets the attendance target for employees for each work group based on the expected workload information and supplementary personnel information for each work group.

In step S430, the electronic device 110 creates work schedules for employees for each work group based on the attendance target and preset work regulation conditions.

In step S440, the electronic device 110 receives a request for exchanging a day off between two employees from the employee terminal 120.

According to one embodiment, when receiving a holiday exchange request, the electronic device 110 may receive a holiday exchange request that includes identification information about the two employees who are the subjects of the holiday exchange and information about the target date for the holiday exchange. there is.

According to an additional embodiment, when receiving information about target dates for non-working day exchange, the electronic device 110 may receive list information about a plurality of ranked target dates. For example, in an application for a holiday exchange between employee A and employee B, the electronic device 110 includes list information about the holiday days a, b, and c for which employee A wishes to exchange, and information about the holiday day d for which employee B wishes to exchange. can receive. As another example, the electronic device 110 may receive list information about the holiday days a and b for which employee A wishes to exchange and information about the holiday days c and d for which employee B wishes to exchange.
