Overview and business objective

The business objective is to model the worldwide operations of an organization providing
24 x 7 support. Of particular interest is overflow between contact center locations and the
impact staffing decisions one location may have on others.

The three contact centers in the model are located in the U.S., Europe, and Japan. Each
center works an 8-hour shift as the primary service provider followed by an 8-hour shift
handling overflow, according to the following schedule (all times in Eastern Standard
Time):
