Task-Planner addresses the problem: Who is to do what and when.

To this end Task Planner's main planning board contains two schedules :

the activity schedule
the working hours schedule

and an automatic assignment procedure based on competences required by the tasks and competences offered by the employees.


This unique approch pinpoints the scheduling problem and ensures that you get the jobs assigned and with the right staff.


Below is the main planning board of Task Planner in which the two schedules and the assignments are clearly identifiable.
This layout gives an instant overview of the scheduling situation.





Templates
If the schedule expedites a recurrent pattern a template covering the pattern can be formulated.
Templates look and behaves exactly as the main planning board and is therefore a great simulation tool targeted at trimming your staff to the tasks.



Generating a monthly plan using templates is done by pressing a button and is a matter of seconds even for very large plans.


Handling of daily exceptions.
Absences of any cause are readily visible in the plan and can be dealt with immediately.
Changes in the allocation and duration of activities or working hours are done using the mouse, mirroring the familiar planning board.

See example



Other features.
Teams of employees can be associated to a task, or group of tasks, thereby enforcing that only employees from the team can be allocated to the task/tasks.
Job rotation prevents a group of employees to do the same task every day.
The program can be operated and configured by the ordinary user.


Applicability
The program is applicable in health care, hospital departments, kindergarten, facility service business and other sites where the tasks and working hours exhibits a recurring pattern and where the scheduling task is of such complexity, that manual composition is difficult.
