Abstract
To improve competitive positioning, the effective utilisation of resources has become a favourable consideration for small and medium scale enterprises (SMEs). Among others, the scheduling of staff in SMEs has been regarded as a common problem. So, the present work is an attempt to solve this problem, particularly during the low production days. The study aim is achieved in steps. In the first step, the associated query is transformed into the linear programming problem, and in the second step, the application of MATLAB software is utilized to solve the problem. As a case study, the issue of scheduling for 8-hour shift is discussed. Study results are found in favour of both workers and employees. The study's assumptions may treat as its limitations.
