For employees working five consecutive days with two days off, find the schedule
which meets demand from attendance levels while minimizing payroll costs.
Sch.	Days off		Employees		Sun	Mon	Tue	Wed	Thu	Fri	Sat
A	Sunday, Monday		3		0	0	1	1	1	1	1
B	Monday, Tuesday		5		1	0	0	1	1	1	1

Problem
An amusement park needs a certain number of employees each day of the week.
Every employee must be on a schedule that gives him/her two consecutive days off.
How many employees should the park hire and what schedule should they be on to
minimize total payroll cost?
Solution
1) The variables are the number of people hired for each of the 7 possible schedules.
On worksheet Sched1 these are given the name Employees_per_schedule.
2) The logical constraints are
	Employees_per_schedule >= 0 via the Assume Non-Negative option
	Employees_per_schedule = integer
There is also the constraint to have enough employees to operate the rides each day:
	Employees_per_day >= Required_per_day
3) The objective is to minimize payroll. This is defined on the worksheet as Payroll.
Remarks
This is an example of a simple, but classic personnel scheduling problem. Hospitals,
schools, police forces, etc., can all use a model like this to optimize their personnel
scheduling.
