Heuristic method for optimum shift scheduling design

This paper describes a method to schedule shifts in the most optimum way desire for today’s cost sensitive industries.The main problem for this domain is to make sure all shifts are assigned to cover all or maximum jobs available.The shifts also need to be schedule with the least manpower possible,...
