The scheduling of films is a major problem for the movie theatre exhibition business. The problem is two-fold: movie exhibitors ideally would like to schedule films to screens in their various locations to maximize attendance and revenue,…
Scheduling of personnel in a hospital environment is vital to improving the service provided to patients and balancing the workload assigned to clinicians. Many approaches have been tried and successfully applied to generate efficient…
We consider a project that consists of activities to be performed in parallel under various temporal constraints, which include start-start, start-finish and finish-start precedence relationships, release times, deadlines, and due dates.…
The surgical department and adequate access to health care are critical problems. The operating room plays a fundamental role in the performance of a hospital. The real problem faces several issues to collect data and optimize scheduling…
The Operating Room Scheduling (ORS) problem is the task of assigning patients to operating rooms, taking into account different specialties, lengths and priority scores of each planned surgery, operating room session durations, and the…
This paper deals with operational models for integrated shift and task scheduling problem. Staff scheduling problem is a special case of this with staff requirements as given input to the problem. Both problems become hard to solve when the…
Staff scheduling is a universal problem that can be encountered in many organizations, such as call centers, educational institution, industry, hospital, and any other public services. It is one of the most important aspects of workforce…
Hoist scheduling has become a bottleneck in electroplating industry applications with the development of autonomous devices. Although there are a few approaches proposed to target at the challenging problem, they generally cannot scale to…
The manpower scheduling problem is a kind of critical combinational optimization problem. Researching solutions to scheduling problems can improve the efficiency of companies, hospitals, and other work units. This paper proposes a new model…
In this work, the online printing shop scheduling problem is considered. This challenging real problem, that appears in the nowadays printing industry, can be seen as a flexible job shop scheduling problem with sequence flexibility in which…
In this paper we consider two problems regarding the scheduling of available personnel in order to perform a given quantity of work, which can be arbitrarily decomposed into a sequence of activities. We are interested in schedules which…
This paper addresses a production scheduling problem derived from an industrial use case, focusing on unrelated parallel machine scheduling with the personnel availability constraint. The proposed model optimizes the production plan over a…
In this paper, the scheduling problems of landing and takeoff aircraft on a same runway and on dual runways are addressed. In contrast to the approaches based on mixed-integer optimization models in existing works, our approach focuses on…
The manpower scheduling problem is a critical research field in the resource management area. Based on the existing studies on scheduling problem solutions, this paper transforms the manpower scheduling problem into a combinational…
In this paper we consider several constrained activity scheduling problems in the time and space domains, like finding activity orderings which optimize the values of several objective functions (time scheduling) or finding optimal…
The nurse scheduling problem is a critical optimization challenge in healthcare management. It aims to balance staffing demands, nurse satisfaction, and patient care quality. Corresponding to the constraints inherent in this scheduling…
The size and complexity of modern astronomical surveys has grown to the point where, in many cases, traditional human scheduling of observations are tedious at best and impractical at worst. Automated scheduling algorithms present an…
We introduce a parallel machine scheduling problem in which the processing times of jobs are not given in advance but are determined by a system of linear constraints. The objective is to minimize the makespan, i.e., the maximum job…
A common issue for companies is that the volume of product orders may at times exceed the production capacity. We formally introduce two novel problems dealing with the question which orders to discard or postpone in order to meet certain…
This paper presents a novel methodology to develop scheduling algorithms. The scheduling problem is phrased as a control problem, and control-theoretical techniques are used to design a scheduling algorithm that meets specific requirements.…
