Abstract

This study is made an application related to the regulation
of working hours of workers in car factory. This factory has thick to work 24
hour shifts need to work with the system as needed. In this study, which is
open 24 hours a day and 7 days in a car factory, it has made application
serving with 3 shifts. The attention of employees serving in this industry and
are crucial to productivity. Mistakes will be made, which can lead to
irreparable consequences. The working hours of workers at the factory
scheduling process is usually carried out by personnel chief in the factory. In
this study, in consultation with the chief engineer in charge of drafting the
schedule and made relevant studies were identified by examining the constraints
to be considered. Then it established a mathematical model that can be used in
a general sense with integer linear programming techniques. Established model
applies to data in a unit of a car factory and has been found to be optimal
solutions with the help of LINGO software. Unlike other shift scheduling
problems in the literature, this study aimed to run for a minimum of additional
workers outside the factory. There is also a model that defined the
mathematical model and skillful workers to shift some concessions to be
assigned any number of workers in particular experience has been established.
