Abstract

In this paper, we address the problem of scheduling nurses working on the flying squad of a hospital. Considering the large number of constraints, many of them being conflicting, the problem is formulated as a multi-objective programming problem with binary variables, where the objective function consists of a vector of objectives and penalty variables (deviation measures) provided by the soft constraints. Two approaches are considered to solve the problem: the weighted method and the sequential method. The best results are obtained with a mix of the two solving methods. Numerical results are presented. Copyright Kluwer Academic Publishers 2000
