Staff Rostering & Shift Scheduling
Coverage against skills, fatigue rules and demand.
QG-SCHED
Healthcare
Coverage, capacity and equipment, under real constraints.
Rostering nurses against skills and fatigue rules, planning bed and theatre capacity, and positioning scarce equipment are combinatorial assignment and allocation problems — the same mathematics as crew scheduling and warehouse layout, in a higher-stakes vocabulary.
The problem
Rostering, capacity and distribution — all NP-hard.
Staff rostering against skills, hours and fatigue rules is a scheduling problem; bed and theatre capacity planning is an allocation problem; positioning scarce equipment across a hospital network is allocation plus routing. Each compounds the others when a network — not a single site — has to be planned together.
What we optimize
Three solutions, three archetypes.
Capacity & Facility Planning
Bed, theatre and resource allocation across a hospital network.
QG-ALLOC
Equipment & Supply Distribution
Positioning and moving scarce, high-value assets.

The engines behind it
Built on the same core engines.
Proof
No published number yet for this industry — and we're saying so.
QG-SCHED and QG-ROUTE both carry real, published results elsewhere (telecom and logistics); QG-ALLOC's research is mature but not yet independently benchmarked anywhere. The honest version for healthcare: same archetypes, same-caliber engines, and when we run them against your rostering or capacity data, that benchmark is the number that counts.
