Staff Scheduling by a Genetic Algorithm
This paper describes a Genetic Algorithms approach to amanpower-scheduling problem arising at a Petrochemical Company. AlthoughGenetic Algorithms have been successfully used for similar problemsin the past, they always had to overcome the limitations of theclassical Genetic Algorithms paradigm in handling the conflict betweenobjectives and constraints. The approach taken here is to use an indir...
متن کاملScheduling by Iterative Partition of Bottleneck Conflicts
Nicola Muscettola The Robotics Institute Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA 15213 ARPA net: [email protected] In this paper we describe Conflict Partition Scheduling (CPS), a novel methodology that constructs solutions to scheduling problems by repeatedly identifying bottleneck conflicts and posting constraints to resolve them. The identification of bottleneck conflicts is based on a capaci...
متن کاملScheduling with Conflicts
We consider the following problem of scheduling with conflicts (SWC): Find a minimum makespan schedule on a constant number of identical machines where conflicting jobs may not be scheduled concurrently. We present the first approximation algorithms for the case in which conflicts between jobs are modeled by general graphs both for unit jobs and jobs with arbitrary processing times. Previous re...
متن کاملReducing Surgical Ward Congestion through Improved Surgical Scheduling and Uncapacitated Simulation
0 Abstract High surgical bed occupancy levels often result in heightened staff stress, frequent surgical cancellations and long surgical wait times. This congestion is in part attributable to surgical scheduling practices which often focus on the efficient use of operating rooms but ignore resulting downstream bed utilization. This paper describes a transparent and portable approach to improve ...
متن کامل1D Vehicle Scheduling with Conflicts
Systems of rail-mounted vehicles play a key role in many logistics applications, and the efficiency of their operation frequently has a significant impact on the overall performance of the surrounding production environment. In theory, assigning transport requests to the vehicles of such systems and scheduling their execution amounts to finding k tours on a common line, where tours may never cr...
