Personnel Scheduling Management System for Washington State Department of Transportation Construction Field Offices: An Investigation of Current Practices, Needs and Design Specifications

摘要

The report describes the current status of personnel scheduling management in Washington State Department of Transportation's construction field offices, assesses the current status, and outlines a conceptual personnel scheduling management system that may improve the existing situation. The report develops a model of personnel scheduling that becomes the basis for comparing current field office practices. A unified personnel scheduling management system concept is outlined, based on patterns of scheduling already in existence at the field offices. Despite the constraints, this system concept is expected to provide most Project Engineers with ways to improve their current personnel scheduling practices. Three design approaches, a manual approach, a spreadsheet approach and a network approach, are suggested.
