Abstract: |
This paper discusses and
analyses the tradeoff between the flexibility afforded with greater number of
staff and the implied cost of employing extra staff in the context of the
nurse-scheduling problem. If the number of staff is constant, our study
allows quantification of the degree of pressure put on the staff resulting
from the schedules that do not satisfy their preferences for shift allocation.
We present a practical approach, based on our domain transformation
methodology that achieves good quality schedules without high computational requirements. |
