A large neighbourhood search approach to the multi-activity shift scheduling problem
The challenge in shift scheduling lies in the construction of a set of work shifts, which are subject to specific regulations, in order to cover fluctuating staff demands. This pro...

Exact/Heuristic Hybrids Using rVNS and Hyperheuristics for Workforce Scheduling
In this paper we study a complex real-world workforce scheduling problem. We propose a method of splitting the problem into smaller parts and solving each part using exhaustive sea...
