| dc.description.abstract | To most hospitals in Vietnam, planning out the working shifts and day-off timetables are
generally manmade. This practice is absolutely time-consuming and it requires a great
amount of effort. Furthermore, there are numerous of constraints might not be taken into
account very well. Sometimes, the chief nurse can’t resolve the issues as there are great
number of nurses and staffs to consider. Hence, mathematical models are undeniably to be
constructed to boost the effectiveness of the scheduling tables for nurse shifts and day-off,
and consequently increase the nursing performance and their recreational life. This study
quote the model which is proposed by Hsia (2009), to locate an ideal working shift
timetables for the staff. Afterwards, an analysis and construction on day-off model would
be executed to seek for an ideal day-off schedule. This study could incorporate the
working shift and day-off scheduling models that satisfy the nurses’ preferences. The
usage of this research would enhance the performances of all the staffs and save massive
effort and time.
