bookChallenge: Optimize Shift Scheduling

Efficient shift scheduling is a core challenge for operations managers, especially when balancing worker availability with the need for complete shift coverage. When resources are limited and demand fluctuates, ensuring that each shift is adequately staffed—without overworking any team member—can be the difference between smooth operations and costly gaps. Fair resource allocation not only prevents burnout but also boosts morale and productivity, making it a vital goal in any scheduling process.

Final Shift Schedule:
Monday:
  09:00-13:00: Alice
  13:00-17:00: Bob
  17:00-21:00: Charlie

Tuesday:
  09:00-13:00: Alice
  13:00-17:00: Bob
  17:00-21:00: Unassigned

Wednesday:
  09:00-13:00: Unassigned
  13:00-17:00: Bob
  17:00-21:00: Charlie

When working with scheduling data, it is important to iterate through each worker's availability and match them with open shifts. Assigning shifts efficiently means checking if a worker is available for a specific time slot and ensuring that no worker is given more shifts than they can handle. Prioritize filling all shifts while keeping assignments fair and balanced. Keeping your data structures organized—such as using dictionaries for availability and schedules—can make the assignment process much more manageable.

Write a Python script to optimize shift scheduling for a team of workers. Use the provided list of workers and their availability to assign workers to shifts. The script should:

  • Assign available workers to shifts so that all shifts are covered if possible.
  • Minimize the number of unassigned shifts.
  • Ensure no worker is assigned to more than three shifts total.
  • Produce a final schedule as a dictionary mapping days to assigned shifts and workers.
