Heuristic Algorithm for Workforce Scheduling Problems

In this paper we present a heuristic approach for solving workforce scheduling problems. The primary goal is to minimize the number of required workers given a pre-established shift demand over a planning horizon. The proposed algorithm starts with an initial solution (initial number of workers and...
