Abstract :
This paper presents a computer-assisted scheduling program which produces feasible work schedules for radiology service. Implementation of such a program in system will minimize exposure to radiation and provide staff preferences while satisfying the workforce requirements of potential shifts. The developed program which produces feasible solutions in reasonable time will substantially reduce scheduling conflicts such as compulsory days off and weekend/weekday shift requirements.
