A Multi-Objective Programming to Increase Labor Efficiency of a Truck Hub: A Case Study

The problem of staff scheduling at a truck hub for loading and stripping of the trucks is an important and difficult problem to optimize the labor efficiency and cost. The trucks enter the hub at different hours a day, in different known time schedules and operating hours. In this paper, we propose a goal programming to maximize the labor efficiency via minimizing the allocation cost. The proposed model of this paper is implemented for a real-world of a case study and the results are analyzed.
