The abstract follows.
In this talk, we study the problem of generating personnel rosters
that are
robust with respect to disruptions caused by employee absenteeism.
If an
employee unexpectedly becomes absent, they must be replaced by
another
employee. This in turn may affect the working hours of other
employees,
creating an undesirable ripple effect that changes a large part of
the roster.
We investigate how making use of on-call duties may avoid such
large
perturbations. We begin by first introducing a metric to quantify
the
robustness of a roster, which is then used to generate
sufficiently robust
rosters. In the second part of this talk, we discuss the
conditions under which
machine learning can lead to better solutions. A novel methodology
is presented
to determine the minimum prediction performance required to
outperform the
non-data-driven rostering approach.
The next talk in our series will be:
André Rossi (Universite PSL) | April 3 | Maximizing stability of assembly line balancing schedules under uncertain task duration
