Adapting Weights

Note

Currently, our application lacks a user-friendly interface for comfortably managing configurations. Instead, these settings are stored in JSON files, which requires manual editing to make any changes.

Weights Configuration

Warning

Please note that the weights assigned to objectives must be greater than or equal to 1.

In our application, users can adjust the importance of various objectives within the general objective function to optimize scheduling and resource allocation. This configuration is managed in the srs/solve.py file.

The objectives are defined as follows:

objectives = [
    FreeDaysNearWeekendObjective(10.0, employees, days),
    MinimizeConsecutiveNightShiftsObjective(2.0, employees, days, shifts),
    MinimizeHiddenEmployeesObjective(100.0, employees, days, shifts),
    MinimizeOvertimeObjective(4.0, employees, days, shifts),
    NotTooManyConsecutiveDaysObjective(MAX_CONSECUTIVE_DAYS, 1.0, employees, days),
    RotateShiftsForwardObjective(1.0, employees, days, shifts),
    MaximizeEmployeeWishesObjective(3.0, employees, days, shifts),
    FreeDaysAfterNightShiftPhaseObjective(3.0, employees, days, shifts),
]

Each objective is assigned a weight represented by a numerical value (e.g., 10.0, 2.0, etc.). By changing these numbers in the codebase, users can effectively prioritize specific objectives according to their operational needs and preferences.
