Timebar scheduling
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Timebar scheduling is a method of staff scheduling that may be adopted by organizations with highly variable staff scheduling requirements.
The primary advantage of timebar scheduling is that it makes it visually clear how many employees will be working or on break at any given time.
To implement timebar scheduling, employee/staff names/identifiers are listed on the vertical axis of a page, and horizontal 'time-bars' are drawn perpendicular to the staff's names. The start-time and length of each work period allocated to the staff member is represented by the time-bar.
The following diagram demonstrates a time-bar schedule with 15 staff allocated shifts represented by time-bars.
