Abstract

In this research, we formulate the model of nurse scheduling by using integer linear programming (A case study: The Fort Sunpasitthiprasong hospital). The objectives of the model are to maximize the number of nurse s’day-offs subject to the hospital’s rules with Lingo and compare to the head of nurse manually. The results show an effective scheduling because it satisfied all of the hospital’s rules with the maximum of nurse s’day-offs.
