SWOPS - Shift Work Optimized Planning and Scheduling

Business Transformation & Optimization


At customer sites


SWOPS is being used successfully in the following environments:

Telephony directory lookup center

  • Environment: 240 employees, 1000 records of personal constraints per week, 1000 duties to assign per week

  • Setup: It takes only two hours to schedule the workload for a week. Previous systems took three days

  • Results: 4% savings in work force and increased morale

Direct banking center

  • Environment: 300 seats with over 100 seats in peak hours. The bank requires a very complex set of skills and activities; manual scheduling became impossible

  • Results: After implementation, the system maintained its level of service and customer satisfaction-even during periods of budget cuts and understaffing. Reports proved that superior control was achieved due to SWOPS
