About the seminar
Motivated by the emergence of self-scheduling platforms for volunteers and the continued need to meet time-specific needs of nonprofit organizations, this research explores modeling approaches and scheduling policies to effectively manage workforce scheduling for organizations with dual scheduling modes. As an illustrative example, Professor Smilowitz and her colleagues consider a nonprofit organization that provides relief to those impacted by disasters using both volunteers who schedule themselves and staff members who are assigned to shifts.

Krebs Professor in Industrial Engineering and Management Science at Northwestern University, with a joint appointment in the Operations group at the Kellogg School of Management.
