                    MANPOWER SCHEDULING

   This section allows schedule simulation or formation
depending on the permanence desired (history wise).  A
printout can be obtained in either instance.  The simulation
(non-update mode) is provided to allow training or more
importantly to be used in staffing & scheduling analysis.
   Each analyst probably has a slightly different approach,
from using Gantt charts to the full blown schedule.   The
Gantt chart approach can be accomplished in the Work
Measurement Section of The Industrial Engineers Tool Box.
For generic schedule formation a generic complement can be
developed showing department, tour, & employee 1 ... emp-
loyee n as employee name , all other data other than days off
isn't essential to basic analysis.  It can be added, however,
at the will of the analyst.  The generic schedule will show
the base staffing schedule, but does not show the vacation,
sick replacement, and without pay absences that impact
staffing.  In a like manner, all other fringe time such as
training, etc. is not covered.  A combination of both systems
is really indicated.
