1. A computer implemented method for generating a roster for an operation, comprising:

  • inputting information of a plurality of shifts of the operation and resource units to an objective function, the objective function encapsulating at least one operational constraint of the operation, wherein the objective function incorporates a fatigue module configured to calculate a fatigue level for the individual resource units;

    evaluating the objective function togenerate a plurality of possible rosters within the operational constraint for assigning the resource units to the individual shifts;

    calculate an overall fatigue metric for the individual rosters based on the individual fatigue levels for the individual resource units and the assigned shifts; and

    select a roster from the plurality of generated rosters, the selected roster being optimized for the overall fatigue metric.
