Improving the shift-scheduling problem using non-stationary queueing models with local heuristic and genetic algorithm
(2020-01-01)
We improve the shift-scheduling process by using nonstationary queueing models to evaluate schedules and two heuristics to generate schedules. Firstly, we improved the fitness function and the initial population generation ...
Some heuristic algorithms for total tardiness minimization in a flowshop with blocking
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2009)
The flowshop scheduling problem with blocking in-process is addressed in this paper. In this environment, there are no buffers between successive machines: therefore intermediate queues of jobs waiting in the system for ...
A heuristic algorithm based on multi-assignment procedures for nurse scheduling
(2013-04-03)
This paper tackles a Nurse Scheduling Problem which consists of generating work schedules for a set of nurses while considering their shift preferences and other requirements. The objective is to maximize the satisfaction ...
