ROSTERING BY ITERATING INTEGER PROGRAMMING AND SIMULATION Shane
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new technique (RIIPS) for solving rostering problems in the presence of service uncertainty. RIIPS stands for “Rostering by Iterating Integer Programming and Simulation”. RIIPS allows great complexity of the stochastic system being rostered. This modelling freedom comes at a price, as the approach can be extremely computationally intensive. Therefore any reduction in computational effort using, for example, efficiency improvement techniques, is of great interest. We specify several ways in which these may be applied.

Solving Airline’s Pilot – Copilot Rostering Problem by Successive Bipartite Weighted Matching
In large airlines, the planning and scheduling of aircrafts and crews is a very important operation. It starts from the analysis of the customers’ demands, passes the stages including timetable construction, fleet planning, and crew pairing, finally ends up with crew rostering. During the past decades, researches had been focused on two complex problems: crew pairing problem and crew rostering ...
متن کاملAn Enhanced Cyclic Descent Algorithm for Nurse Rostering
The study introduces an enhanced cyclic descent algorithm for nurse rostering. The algorithm is compared to four other rostering algorithms and to manually generated roster solutions obtained from the Gold Coast Hospital. Three criteria are developed with which the roster generation methods are assessed: these are roster schedule quality, roster shift allocation quality and execution time. A st...

This paper details a new simulation and optimisation based system for personnel scheduling (rostering) of Customs staff at the Auckland International Airport, New Zealand. An integrated approach using simulation, heuristic descent and integer programming techniques has been developed to determine near-optimal staffing levels. The system begins by using a new simulation system embedded within a ...

In this paper the real-world occurrence of the multiple-product multiple-constraint single period newsboy problem with two objectives, in which there is incremental discounts on the purchasing prices, is investigated. The constraints are the warehouse capacity and the batch forms of the order placements. The first objective of this problem is to find the order quantities such that the expected ...
