A Hybrid Personnel Scheduling Model for Staff Rostering Problems
The problem of staff scheduling in the airline industry is extensively investigated in operational research studies because efficient staff employment can drastically reduce the operational costs of airline companies. Considering the flight schedule of an airline company, staff scheduling is the pro...

Considering the flight schedule of an airline company, staff scheduling is the process of assigning all necessary staff members in such a way that the airline can operate all its flights and construct a roster line for each employee while minimizing the corresponding overall costs for the personnel.

The ground staff in the aviation industry case is a rostering problem that includes three different types of personnel scheduling results: fluctuation-centered, mobility-centered, and project-centered planning. This paper presents an integrated mixed integer programming (MIP) model for determining the manpower requirements and related personnel shift designs for the ground staff at the airline to minimize manpower costs. The aim of this study is to complete the planning of the monthly and daily schedules simultaneously. A case study based on real-life data shows that this model is useful for the manpower planning of ground services at the airline and that the integrated approach is superior to the traditional two-stage approach.https://www.mdpi.com/2227-7390/8/10/1702personnel schedulingstaff rostering problemmixed integer programmingaviation industry |
