Please reply with the full and exact text of the exercise, including such information as the total number of man-hours needed during various times and the quantification of "preference". When you reply, please include a clear listing of your thoughts and efforts so far. Thank you!
As stated, there is not a unique answer. For example, under suitable assumptions, I could make up a staffing plan which has either 3 or 16 or 48 or ... part time employees and a fixed but small number of full time employees.
