This paper addresses a nurse scheduling problem that is present in hospital. In order to accommodate the rising cost of sustaining and maintaining hospital, there demand analyse manpower by not compromising needs patients. Therefore, this study aims apply mathematical method find optimal number nurses be assigned for duties each day shift An integer linear programming model developed represent ...

An approach to the problem of deciding which equipment and manpower must be allocated over a sequence of work shifts is presented. Once these resources are given, a feasible and near-optimal sequence of operations to load and unload a set of ships harboured in an Intermodal Container Terminal is found. The solution of the resource allocation problem is based on a network design formulation that...

The design of the CLEO-III Trigger produced 24 different multilayer printed circuit board designs, and over 100 FPGA configurations. Only one board design was intentionally prototyped and respun; only one board design was respun due to design/layout error; only one board design had more than 6 ECO wires. A detailed case study of the CLEO-III Trigger design methodology is presented. Scheduling, ...

In this paper we describe a benchmark generator for a family of cost aware resource constraints. These constraints have been introduced in the context of electricity cost minimization, but can also be applied for other use cases like manpower scheduling. None of the existing resource constraint benchmarks include a cost element, we therefore created our own test generator to evaluate the qualit...

For most computationally intractable problems there exists no heuristic that is equally effective on all instances. Rather, any given heuristic may do well on some instances but will do worse on others. Indeed, even the 'best' heuristics will be dominated by others on at least some subclasses of instances. It thus seems worthwhile to identify for each instance anew a heuristic that is appropria...

Real Estate as well as Infrastructure constructions are a part of the development and indicators of the growth of the economy. At any point of time huge amount of construction is carried out across pan India, with natural cycle of ups and downs in the quantum of work executed per annum. Construction requires large number of manpower in the categories of un-skilled, skilled and technical for pla...

STUDY OBJECTIVE The aim was to investigate which factors in the operating procedure of the gastric cancer screening programme carried out by local Japanese municipalities affect the participation rate. DESIGN This was a cross-sectional study. Data were mainly obtained by questionnaire completed by the person in charge of health in each municipal council. Information was sought on screening mo...
