An indirect Genetic Algorithm for a nurse-scheduling problem
This paper describes a Genetic Algorithms approach to a manpower-scheduling problem arising at a major UK hospital. Although Genetic Algorithms have been successfully used for similar problems in the past, they always had to overcome the limitations of the classical Genetic Algorithms paradigm in handling the conflict between objectives and constraints. The approach taken here is to use an indi...
متن کاملA Genetic Algorithm Developed for a Supply Chain Scheduling Problem
This paper concentrates on the minimization of total tardiness and earliness of orders in an integrated production and transportation scheduling problem in a two-stage supply chain. Moreover, several constraints are also considered, including time windows due dates, and suppliers and vehicles availability times. After presenting the mathematical model of the problem, a developed version of GA c...
متن کاملA HYBRID GENETIC ALGORITHM FOR A BI-OBJECTIVE SCHEDULING PROBLEM IN A FLEXIBLE MANUFACTURING CELL
This paper considers a bi-objective scheduling problem in a flexible manufacturing cell (FMC) which minimizes the maximum completion time (i.e., makespan) and maximum tardiness simultaneously. A new mathematical model is considered to reflect all aspect of the manufacturing cell. This type of scheduling problem is known to be NP-hard. To cope with the complexity of such a hard problem, a genet...
متن کاملA genetic algorithm approach for problem
In this paper, a genetic algorithm is presented for an identical parallel-machine scheduling problem with family setup time that minimizes the total weighted flow time ( ). No set-up is necessary between jobs belonging to the same family. A set-up must be scheduled when switching from the processing of family i jobs to those of another family j, i j, the duration of this set-up being the sequ...
متن کاملAn Exact Algorithm for the Mode Identity Project Scheduling Problem
In this paper we consider the non-preemptive variant of a multi-mode resource constrained project scheduling problem (MRCPSP) with mode identity, in which a set of project activities is partitioned into disjoint subsets while all activities forming one subset have to be processed in the same mode. We present a depth-first branch and bound algorithm for the resource constrained project schedulin...
