TransRecog deployed an AI optimization system for Suita City Water Department's shift scheduling. The system reduced creation time for one month of schedules from 2-3 days to about 2 hours, a roughly 90% reduction. It handles complex conditions like holidays, childcare leave, and group meeting days, and outputs a confirmation sheet to ease human review.
The system outputs a confirmation sheet that flags areas requiring human attention, such as insufficient public holidays or group meeting day swaps. This is meant to reduce the burden of final checks and prevent reliance on specific staff members. TransRecog said the system cut the time to produce one month of shift schedules from two to three days to about two hours, a reduction of roughly 90 percent based on an eight-hour workday.
The Suita City Water Department had previously used Excel to manage scheduling but still faced long hours and complex conditions including public holidays, childcare leave, group meeting days, and split-office assignments. The new system incorporates those conditions into an optimized draft schedule before human review.
