Crew rostering is an important project in development of information system for airlines and a significant aspect of optimal use of human resources. The quality of scheduling is chiefly concerned with the safety and qualification of the flight. Most of early optimization attempts focused the research on lowest cost and equilibrium of crews' workload, while crews' harmony that is a very critical aspect is neglected. Based on the study of crew rostering in practical operations, with the help of analyzing factors about crews' ability, workload and character, a method is provided to generate crews, then a system is set up to evaluate the harmony of crews. Fuzzy Optimum Dynamic Programming that translating multistage problem into simplex is applied to rostering problem to analyze and evaluate the harmony. A formalized method is introduced to solve crew-generating problem.
