MediSure, a growing healthcare services provider, operates a 24/7 call center to support patients, healthcare providers, and insurance partners. With call volumes rising across all hours, the operations team must determine an optimal staffing plan that minimizes labor costs while maintaining required service levels. The call center uses five fixed 8-hour shifts to provide overlapping coverage throughout the day. Every agent is assigned to exactly one shift per day, and part-time scheduling is not permitted. Each 2-hour period throughout the day has a minimum number of agents that must be available to handle projected call volume.
