==Complexity of model==
Many applications providing a workforce modeling solution use the [[linear programming]] approach to create the Workforce Model. Linear methods of achieving a schedule are generally based on assumptions that demand is based on a series of independent events, each with a consistent, predictable outcome. However, modeling the uncertainty and dependability of these events is a well-researched area.<ref name="Clancy, Thomas R. 2008">Clancy, Thomas R.

Workforce modeling solutions can be created using a [[software]] solution for demand-oriented workforce management.
