The creative tool for
flexible shift rota generation

Productive circularity

Working time management is a focus area of the finely-balanced field of economics. The list of requirements is extensive and complicated – one of the requirements is the generation of optimum frame shift rotas.

For better and simpler solutions, you can use an advanced software tool: the XIMES Shift Plan Assistant© [SPA]. With the [SPA] – now already available in the further enhanced version 7.0 – you can create a new basis for the process in your company – to the advantage of everybody involved.

The [SPA] can help you in practice ...

• ... if you need to distribute people into groups of equal working hours: using frame rotas for homogenous groups.
• ... if full-time and part-time employees need to be mixed or certain qualifications need special considerations: using frame rotas for complex groups.
• ... if stand-by and on-call duties need to be taken into consideration: using frame rotas including stand-by.
• ... if you need to schedule a working time model which accounts for cover or peak times: using frame rotas including reserve such as stand-in personnel, cover within groups or flexible reserve shifts.
•  ... if the frame rota varies – you can combine two or more rotas: using frame rotas for alternating (seasonal) requirements. 
• ... if a rota needs to be checked for legal requirements as well as experiences and recommendations from working science: using frame rotas with ergonomic and legal checks.
• ... if you need to estimate how much a rota will cost: with frame rotas that provide estimations of costs and individual salaries.
• ... if you need checks for difficult areas and want to be provided with suggested solutions when generating a rota by yourself: using frame rotas as support for scheduling by yourself.
