Generating employee rosters on a 24 hour, 7 day per week basis taking into account fluctuating demand for employees, employee skills, working conditions, training and employee preferences, while ensuring efficiency and equity between the employees is a very difficult task due to the very large number of possible rostering combinations available. The research done in this thesis sets to solve this exact problem for CS Energy's Swanbank Power Station located in Queensland, Australia. -- abstract. / Thesis (PhDMathematics)--University of South Australia, 2002.

Shiftwork is common in the private sector but not exclusive from the public sector like nursing. In order to secure a continuous operation, and optimization of equipment, businesses introduced shiftwork. The author wanted to test certain hypotheses to better understand the impact of shiftwork. In this research the author first embarked on a theoretical study into shiftwork and its associated problems, which include the impact on productivity, the impact on the employer’s attitude towards the work, the impact on the family life, the impact on social life, the impact on physical health and the psychological effects. Thereafter, an empirical study was conducted to ascertain to what extend shiftwork affects productivity and the life of the employees. The data was then analysed to explain the impact of shiftwork and productivity. Lastly, recommendations were made based on the research.
