A Constraint Programming and Hybrid Approach to Nurse Rostering Problems
This paper describes a decision support methodologies for nurse rostering problem in a modern hospital environment. In particular, it is very important to efficiently utilise time and effort, to evenly balance the workload among people and to attempt to satisfy personnel preference. We presented a complete model to formulate all the complex real-world constraints, solution approach and Hybrid a...
متن کاملA Hybrid Constraint Programming Approach for Nurse Rostering Problems
Due to the complexity of nurse rostering problems (NRPs), Constraint Programming (CP) approaches on their own have shown to be ineffective in solving these highly constrained problems. We investigate a two-stage hybrid CP approach on real world benchmark NRPs. In the first stage, a constraint satisfaction model is used to generate weekly rosters consist of high quality shift sequences satisfyin...
متن کاملA Hybrid Constraint Integer Programming Approach to Solve Nurse Scheduling Problems
The Nurse Scheduling Problem can be simply defined as assigning a series of shift sequences (schedules) to several nurses over a planning horizon according to some constraints and preferences. The inherent benefits of having higher-quality and more flexible schedules are a reduction in outsourcing costs and an increase of job satisfaction in health organizations. In this paper, we present a nov...
متن کاملA Constraint-directed Local Search Approach to Nurse Rostering Problems
In this paper, we investigate the hybridization of constraint programming and local search techniques within a large neighbourhood search scheme for solving highly constrained nurse rostering problems. As identified by the research, a crucial part of the large neighbourhood search is the selection of the fragment (neighbourhood, i.e. the set of variables), to be relaxed and re-optimized iterati...
متن کاملA hybrid model of integer programming and variable neighbourhood search for highly-constrained nurse rostering problems
This paper presents a hybrid multi-objective model that combines Integer Programming (IP) and Variable Neighbourhood Search (VNS) to deal with highly constrained nurse rostering problems in modern hospital environments. An IP is first used to solve the subproblem which includes the full set of hard constraints and a subset of soft constrains. A basic VNS then follows as a postprocessing procedu...
