The current implementation penalizes a non-matching skill by the number of minutes that a shift is not covered by a required|preferred skill. Equina needs to support the use-case when an employee is required|preferred to have a skill only to start a shift (not for the whole shift duration):

This is a request to make it possible to define shifts where one of a list of skills is required. It would be good if the required skills can be also be OR . So if I have two different skills but an employee has to have one of them. Today you can put in more than one skill but then it requires both of them.

We're asking to include the rule ID for the recommendation API (i.e. the API that makes the recommendation of the next best employee that can be assigned to the shift). Currently, the recommendation api only shows the rule category, not the individual rule. We would like to see the individual rule included in the recommendation API. E.g. if you have configured multiple periodRules, we would like to see the recommendation API output constraint diffs per rule, and not only aggregated. Similar like the justifications do.

Some jobs require (limited) equipment or tools to be used while executing a task. Some task also require spare parts to be taken along. Given that the number of tools is finite, this introduces an additional constraint to the optimisation process, ensuring that tool availability is factored into production schedules. Potentially that equipment needs to be cleaned or charged in between use.

This is a request to make it possible to control the minimum amount of break times, or maximum amount of service time (for a certain period).

Enforce a driver break after a certain amount of time: e.g. after 4.5h of continuous driving time, there needs to be a break of 45min. We will probably see something like this in many regulations.

New kpis abouts costs, revenue, profit: e.g. revenue per km (specifically asked for by Data New Road), total costs, total revenue

Technicians get a compensation for the km driven, which could cover fuel costs, but also a general compensation for the usage of the car (if it is the private car of the technician for example).

This is a request for Timefold to become ISO 27001 certified.
