Chapter 1Introduction

Brunner, Jens O.

Pages: 1 –4

[The introductory chapter consists of four sections. In Sect. 1.1 we reveal the current situation in hospitals that is faced by the management. We address the general issue of personnel scheduling in the service industry in Sect. 1.2. Then we motivate our research by considering physicians as the...

Chapter 2Literature Review on Personnel Scheduling

Brunner, Jens O.

Pages: 5 –12

[In this chapter we review the relevant literature for our work. In Sect. 2.1 we start with reviewing the general personnel scheduling literature and some classification schemes. In Sect. 2.2 we summarize the relevant work on physician scheduling. Afterwards we review in Sect. 2.3 work on...

Chapter 3MIP Model for Flexible Shift Scheduling of Physicians

Brunner, Jens O.

Pages: 13 –37

[In this chapter we present the general problem of physician scheduling. As will be seen the modeling ideas can be carried over to the service industry as a whole. In Sect. 3.1 we start by stating the problem characteristics and then formulating the basic problem as a MIP where we introduce our...

Chapter 4Solution Methodologies

Brunner, Jens O.

Pages: 39 –72

[In this chapter we present solutions methodologies for the flexible shift scheduling problem of physicians in a hospital. After discussing some preprocessing issues in Sect. 4.1 we present a heuristic decomposition strategy in Sect. 4.2 which has been applied to find a set of rosters in Sect....

Chapter 5Experimental Investigations

Brunner, Jens O.

Pages: 73 –97

[In the following chapter after presenting the data set in Sect. 5.1 that is used in the computations we present three computational studies for the flexible shift scheduling problem of physicians in a hospital. First, in Sect. 5.2 we show results obtained by the heuristic decomposition approach...
