Abstract
A company providing services in a 24/7 basis faces the problem of determining what are the workers prerequisites per shift, and after that estimating the lower bounds of workforce size that could provide the continuous service. In this paper we solve the estimating problem according to characteristics of the contraction, vacation period and degree of absenteeism.
