This paper presents and compares two different solution approaches to optimize the glass collection process at a single intermunicipal authority in Belgium. First, a model enhancement approach is proposed to solve a shift scheduling optimization problem integrating the construction of glass...

This paper presents a two-stage mixed integer programming approach for optimizing the skill mix and training schedule at the aircraft maintenance company Sabena Technics. Of course, when all workers are trained for all skills, cheaper workforce schedules are possible. However, the training that...

This paper presents a fast heuristic approach to optimize staffing and scheduling of the workforce at an aircraft maintenance company. Two linked Tabu Search algorithms are proposed to minimize the labour costs and to maximize employee satisfaction. To enhance the performance of the algorithm,...

This paper presents a heuristic approach to optimize sta ng and scheduling at an aircraft maintenance company. The goal is to build robust aircraft maintenance personnel rosters that can achieve a certain service level while minimizing the total labour costs. Robust personnel rosters are rosters...

This paper presents a review and classification of the literature regarding workforce planning problems incorporating skills. In many cases, technical research regarding workforce planning focuses very hard on the mathematical model and neglects the real life implications of the simplifications...
