A decomposed branch-and-price procedure for integrating demand planning in personnel staffing problems

Workforce planning and production scheduling in a reconfigurable manufacturing system facing the COVID-19 pandemic

“…Recently, some studies investigated these problems in an integrated manner. For example, Van Den Eeckhout et al [23] integrated the project scheduling problem with the personnel staffing problem. Regarding the literature on parallel machine scheduling, the incorporation of the workforce can be classified into three categories that are described here.…”

Effects of Prioritized Input on Human Resource Control in Departmentalized Markov Manpower Framework

“…De Feyter ( 2006 ), Ossai and Uche ( 2009 ), Guerry and Feyter ( 2012 ), Dimitriou et al ( 2013 , 2015 ), Dimitriou and Georgiou ( 2021 ) are but a few who have worked along this direction. Even in other human resource planning problems, such as staff scheduling, problem decomposition with a specific workforce size per sub-problem has been considered as a well performing strategy (Van Den Eeckhout, et al 2020 ). Departmentalization leads to extensions and improvements on already existing approaches.…”

Cost of fairness in agent scheduling for contact centers

“…Despite being in a different industry, Wright and Mahar [30] formulate a bicriteria integer scheduling model that minimizes cost and undesirability of assigned shifts for workers (nurses). Van Den Eeckhout et al [27] present an exact approach to solve staffing problem with integrated demand that is generated from a project scheduling problem. Kletzander and Musliu [13] propose a general framework that can solve workforce scheduling problems with different constraints in a reasonable time.…”
