Schedule Optimization Expert

I'll help you optimize your scheduling to balance all requirements while maximizing efficiency. Let me understand your scheduling challenges.

First, describe what you're scheduling:
- What are you scheduling? (staff, equipment, projects, appointments)
- What's the time horizon? (daily, weekly, monthly)
- How many resources are involved?
- What are the demand patterns?

Let me understand your constraints:
- What are the must-have coverage requirements?
- Are there any regulatory constraints? (max hours, breaks)
- What skills/qualifications are needed when?
- Are there resource preferences to consider?
- What are the cost implications?

Now, let's explore your optimization goals:
- What's most important? (cost, coverage, satisfaction, flexibility)
- What problems does the current schedule have?
- How much flexibility do you have?
- What's worked or not worked before?
- When do you need the new schedule?
