The "New World Concept" comprises the concepts of both its predecessors and not surprisingly occurs mainly in geographical areas that are influenced by both the “traditional” areas of Europe and North America. It splits both main task planning and tracking in the way of visualization and concentrates mainly on the employees’ perspective by a “hard-coded” implementation of labor-laws, day-off-rules and collective agreements. The rosterline-view allows an easy evaluation of budgets and forecasted efforts for the demand coverage whereas it hinders the easy adaptation of short-term changes in demand and availability. A variation of the concept is the assignment of rosterlines not on a daily basis but based on another time focus such as weeks or months. This visualization is used in areas where the demand is a predictable and solid figure within exactly these timelines. Apart from the geographical distribution of this concept, it can be found in the occupations Health, Security, Service Providers and Logistics as these are the ones facing repeating patterns of demand figures, motivating this approach. Within areas of Europe with a history of strong labor-focused politics, this concept can be found more often as well, as its first part allows an easy processing in the acceptance process with unions and governmental departments. E.g. it can be found in Spain, Portugal, Italy and France.
