A shift work schedule is extremely important to obtain the optimum result of work allocation since it involves 24 hours of continuous services. Every nurse could not avoid shift work schedule since their services are very important towards the patients in the hospital. The major objective of the study is to propose a cyclical nurse scheduling in the Coronary Care Unit (CCU) at Shah Alam hospital using Goal Programming. It is to help the head nurse to spend less effort on building new schedules periodically and increase the satisfaction among nurses by providing fairness towards their schedules. There were nine hard constraints and three soft constraints for the nurse scheduling model. The results presented the optimal solution where all goals were achieved thus, it provided a fair schedule for 15 nurses in 15 days. Then, the schedule pattern was rotated among nurses based on the 15 schedules set in 225 days. The first schedule set will be used by the nurse for the first 15 days, then will be continuously rotated for another 15 days until all the nurses reached and experienced every 15 sets of the schedule. The schedule was generated using LINGO software which it took a short time to solve the problem.

Nurse scheduling is one of the problems that often arise in hospital management systems. Head of ICU room and nurse to cooperate in making good nurse scheduling for the creation of optimal service. In this paper, we study a hospital nurse schedule design by considering the level of nurse education and the provision of holidays. Nurses with undergraduate education (S1) Nurses become leaders on every shift and are accompanied by nurses with diploma education (D3). The scheduling model in this study using the nonpreemptive goal programming method and LINGO 11.0 software. The preparation of the schedule of nurses assigned to this method can optimize the need for efficient nurses per shift based on education level. The data in the research was obtained by collecting administrative data at Aloei Saboe Gorontalo hospital. The data used are the published schedule by the head of the ICU room. In making a nurse schedule, there are limitations to consider such ashospital regulation. The results of the study obtained an optimal solution in the form of meeting all the desired obstacles. Computational results shows that nurse scheduling using the nonpreemptive goal programming method and LINGO 11.0 software better than the schedule created manually. Every shift is a maximum of one leader with an undergraduate education (S1) background and accompanied by a nurse with a diploma education (D3) background. Keywords: scheduling, goal programming, nonpreemptive goal programming.

This study presents a goal programming approach to determine the best self-drive tourism route in Terengganu. The goal programming was formulated based on the model of Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP). This study involved seven cities in Terengganu which can be connected by road network. The data of the tourist attractions for each city was used in this study. The model of self-drive tourism route was constructed so as to connect all these seven cities by minimizing the travel distance, minimizing accommodation costs and maximizing the total number of tourist attractions. To achieve the objectives of this study, we develop the goal programming model that considers three model structures with each of them consists three goal constraints which are subjected to four hard constraints. This model has been solved using LINGO12.0 software. The results obtained from each model structures will be compared in order to get the most optimum route for self-drive tourism. The result showed that the first model structure was suitable to be used because this model structure gave the optimum result compared to other model structures. It produced the minimum total traveling cost of RM967.70 compared to the model structure two of RM977.10 and model structure three of RM1233.10.

More and more medical staff is involved in work in a continuous mode, and therefore the study of their health problems becomes more and more relevant and practically significant. In the article, we summarized domestic and foreign data of the problem of sleep disorders in employees with shift work, gave modern approaches to the classification and diagnosis of insomnia. We have described the adverse physiological effects of the daily and night schedule on the body of medical staff. Analyzing the literary sources, we came to the conclusion that the state of health and the violation of circadian rhythms due to the shift work schedule are directly related. To date, there is no undisputed curative and preventive doctrine of insomnia. Scheduling nursing staff according to circadian rhythms, maximizing schedule stability and adhering to a healthy lifestyle can minimize most of the problems caused by shift work.
