Several manpower planning models are presented that exploit the longitudinal stability of manpower cohorts. The manpower planning process is described along with the problem of identifying and obtaining various types of longitudinal data. An infinite horizon linear program for calculating minimum cost manpower input plans is found to have a straightforward solution in a great many cases and to ...

The privatisation of British Rail into twenty five train operating companies and three freight companies has highlighted the need for each company to have efficient operating schedules. Manpower costs are a significant element in any transport organisation, and the ability to minimise these costs is seen as crucial to the well running of these companies. In addition, the need to try out differe...

Scheduling problems in manufacturing, logistics and project management have frequently been modeled using the framework of Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problems with minimum and maximum time lags (RCPSP/max). Due to the importance of these problems, providing scalable solution schedules for RCPSP/max problems is a topic of extensive research. However, all existing methods for solving...

Demand Response (DR), also known as electric load-shifting program, is a different way of shaping energy demand with the goal to reduce electricity costs for an organization. Extensive prior research studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of the action of DR through the use of operations research methodology e.g. efficient production scheduling. In the real world, schedulers typically issu...
