RESUMO

The software of automatic generation of the periodic work schedule of the nursing professionals is presented on this work. This software has the shape of an Intranet, what facilitates the system implementation and makes the installation of client softwares of the data bank or any other type of configuration at the users´ computers unnecessary. Another relevant characteristic of this system is that it classifies itself as a Decision-Maker Support System once it generates a suggestion for the work schedule based on the information of the institution employees and it can be also altered manually, at any moment, by the nurse who is responsible for organizing the schedule which is generated for periods or shifts that usually last a month. Each employee is linked to a workplace and a function. So when generating a new schedule, it is necessary to inform the period, the function and the workplace to have the desired work schedule elaborated. The Programming 0/1, a technique of Linear Programming; was used to elaborate the schedule. With this technique, the variables may receive only two values, zero or one. Variables that each one represents an employee on a day of the period and a day shift, where if this variable receives the value one, it means that the employee is going to work and if it receives the value zero, it means he / she is not going to work on the day and shift indicated by the variable. Thirteen restrictions to generate the work schedule according to the Regulation of the Human Resources of the Institution where the software was developed were taken into consideration. These restrictions are rules that must be respected by the system when generating the work schedule. They are described in a file that is exported to LINGO Software which generates a solution to problems of Linear and Non-Linear Programming problems and is developed by LINDO Systems Inc, Chicago, USA. This applicative is capable of solving the problem of Programming 0/1 and calculating on which days and shifts each one of the employees is going to work. After generating this file, the software calculates it and generates a file with the answers. That file is imported to the system of automatic generation of schedules and then made available as a grid so that the professionals may consult it. At the end of the generation process, the employees may evaluate the results of the calculations and suggest modifications. If the information that generates the file of restrictions is modified, the final result is consequently going to be another one. Finally, the generation of the periodic work schedule was reduced to about five seconds.
