Abstract
Generating employee rosters on a 24 hour, 7 day per week basis taking into account fluctuating demand for employees, employee skills, working conditions, training and employee preferences, while ensuring efficiency and equity between the employees is a very difficult task due to the very large number of possible rostering combinations available. The research done in this thesis sets to solve this exact problem for CS Energy's Swanbank Power Station located in Queensland, Australia.
