Optimisation

Every absence, covered.With the agreement in view.

For process plants, quality labs and maintenance teams that work in shifts. When someone is absent, PlanifAI proposes several scored covers and shows you the roster before you confirm.

Who covers each shift, within the agreement

When someone is absent, PlanifAI looks for the combination of changes that solves it best, within the collective agreement and the skills of each role.

Rules it models

Minimum rest	Hours between the end of one shift and the next, with a recommended value above the minimum.	Hard
Skills per role	Only someone qualified for a role can cover it.	Hard
Relief-shift allowance	The available relief days are shared out without going over.	Hard
Consecutive days	A maximum number of working days in a row.	Soft
Weekends off	Each person’s weekends off are protected.	Soft
12-hour days	Shifts can be extended, within limits.	Soft

Hard: always met. Soft: met as far as possible and, if not, the plan says by how much.

Optimisation

When someone is absent, several ways out with their price

What it aims for, in order

Cover the shift: no absence is left unresolved.
Break the agreement’s soft rules as little as possible.
Share the effort and move as few people as possible.

Sick leave or a permit: You get several covers (a relief shift, someone from another role with the skill, extending the neighbouring shifts or a double shift), each with its score and warnings.
A last-minute absence: PlanifAI computes the alternatives on the spot and you see them on the roster before confirming.
Two absences at once: PlanifAI takes each absence type’s priority into account and reassigns covers if needed.
A manual change: If you decide it yourself, PlanifAI checks it against the same rules before saving it.

Every cover, explained on the roster

The roster by role, shift and day, or by person.

Start with what you already have

PlanifAI reads from your HR, time-tracking or payroll system, or the roster spreadsheet, and sends the covers back.

To start, it needs

Staff and each person’s skills.
Roles and shifts, with their hours.

Questions

Does it build the roster from scratch?

Its strength is solving absences on a roster that already exists. Generating the full roster is studied case by case.

Are the rules those of my agreement?

Yes. Rest periods, consecutive days, weekends and skills are set with your values.

Who decides the cover?

The person in charge. PlanifAI proposes and explains; nothing is applied until you confirm it.

Pick a recent absence. We show you how we would have covered it.

With your roster and your rules we show you the covers PlanifAI would have proposed and which rule each one strains.
