This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240428156 titled 'METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR RECOMMENDING A WORKPLAN SCHEDULE
Original Abstract Submitted
a system and method for automatically generating a workplan schedule for a team of employees in an organization includes receiving a request to create a workplan schedule for the team, the team including two or more team members who are employees of the organization and the workplan schedule identifying a work location for the team members. one or more collaborators for one or more of the team members is detected, where the collaborator is an employee of the organization who is not a member of the team and with whom at least one of the team members collaborate. a preference alignment parameter for the team members is then measured for the one or more workdays and a utility parameter for one or more of the team members is measured where the utility parameter is based on the preference alignment parameter, a team member co-location parameter for the one or more of the two or more team members being at a same location as their team members, and a co-location with collaborators parameter for the one or more of the two or more team members being at a same location as the one or more their collaborators. the utility parameters for the team members are then aggregated and a maximization function is applied to the aggregated utility parameter based on a relative weighing of the preference alignment parameter, the team member co-location parameter and the co-location with collaborators parameter to generate the workplan schedule based on the maximized aggregated utility parameter.
