Optimizer: Sequence Simple

Getting Started

This operator allows to find an ideal time interval for a task or shift in a given possible and a given preferred time interval. This could help to find the optimal time interval for breaks or service tasks which are not too time critical.
For this operator you need two data grids:

• One containing the information for the task like preferred from and to, the planned from and to and the duration of the task.
• One grid containing the shift data

Input data

This is the data containing the task information. This data is provided by the parent data node or by the data node itself.

Parameter with Shift Information

The first five settings are linked to another data node, which contains information about shift types, such as identifier and shift length (from/to).

Other Parameters

The other parameters contain:

Example

In this example from a hospital, patients should be transported from a place to another one. The times are normally given by the beginning or the end of a treatment, but have some flexibility at the end. So the optimizer calculated the ideal time period for these transports.

Attention

Pleases be aware that the Optimizer can only deal with a minimum interval of one minute.
