This paper presents a novel bi-objective manpower scheduling problem that minimizes the penalty resulted from employees’ assignment at lower skill levels than their real skill and maximizes employees’ utility for working at a special skill level in some shifts or on some days. Employees are classified in two specialist groups and three skill levels in each specialization. In addition, the prese...

In this paper, we investigate the bi-objective multiperiod one-dimensional cutting stock problem that seeks to minimize cost of production associated with total length cut objects (waste) and inventory costs related items. A mathematical model is presented heuristically solved by a column generation method. Computational tests were performed using Weighted Sum method, ε-Constraint method variat...
