Abstract

Summary Difficult financial situations in most German cities and increasing competition in waste management between private and public companies require an efficient allocation of all resources that are involved in the waste disposal process. The two major resources are waste collection vehicles and crews. They can be assigned to the corresponding planning steps of finding so called waste collection districts and appropriate crew schedules which are planned manually at the moment. This paper focuses on the optimization of the crew scheduling process where different crews have to be allocated to speciffic waste collection districts and vehicles respectively. The paper shows first results of a joint research project including the Universities of Braunschweig and Dortmund as well as two companies from the private and public sector.
