Sales force management decisions belong to the major issues considered in marketing research. Among others, the alignment of sales territories has been one of the main field of work for years. Recent results have reported a strong impact of the alignment of sales territories on profit, and,...

Generating a regular season schedule is a demanding task for any sports league. In Europe, the creation of a suitable schedule for every national top soccer league not only has to address numerous conflicting inner-league requirements and preferences. Additionally, the games of the European Cup...

In this study, we propose a reinforcement learning (RL) approach for minimizing the number of work overload situations in the mixed model sequencing (MMS) problem with stochastic processing times. The learning environment simulates stochastic processing times and penalizes work overloads with...
