Staff scheduling is one of the most relevant issues among production planning managers. The problem is to set up an appropriate schedule for various employees to maximize the performance measurement. There are different conflicting criteria with any scheduling problem such as cost minimization, efficiency maximization, etc. The proposed model of this paper develops a new multiobjective decision-making scheduling problem, and the resulted problem is solved using two different techniques of goal programming and augmented epsilon constraint. The implementation of the new proposed model is demonstrated with a real-world case study, and they are analyzed. The preliminary results indicate that the epsilon-constraint method somewhat performs better than goal programming technique.
