Effective heuristics vs. GP solutions for shift duties generation

Sydney CK Chu, Christina SY Yuen

Abstract:

A shift is defined as a fixed-length duty consisting of a fixed number of contiguous work hours in a day with a rest break preferably around the middle of the day. In the paper Effective heuristics vs GP Solutions for Shift Duties Generation (S. CK Chu, C. SY Yuen) this fixed-length property is exploited to formulate a straightforward yet flexible goal programming model with integer variables. To address the computational issues the authors propose a very competitive heuristics and given such a comparative analysis.
