This paper describes a Genetic Algorithms approach to a manpower-scheduling problem arising at a major UK hospital. Although Genetic Algorithms have been successfully used for sim...
Several methods to select variables that are subsequently used in discriminant analysis are proposed and analysed. The aim is to find from among a set of m variables a smaller sub...
In this study we focus on the integration of inventory control and vehicle routing schedules for a distribution system in which the warehouse is responsible for the replenishment ...
In contrast to the existing airport gate assignment studies where flight have fixed schedules, we consider the more realistic situation where flight arrival and departure times can...
