Manpower scheduling with shift change constraints

We consider a problem in manpower scheduling, called the Change Shift Assignment Problem (CSAP) which is concerned with the construction of workers' schedules which satisfy demand and shift change constraints. We show that CSAP is NP-hard in general, and present polynomial-time algorithms to so...

Description
Summary:We consider a problem in manpower scheduling, called the Change Shift Assignment Problem (CSAP) which is concerned with the construction of workers' schedules which satisfy demand and shift change constraints. We show that CSAP is NP-hard in general, and present polynomial-time algorithms to solve three practical cases of CSAP.
