Abstract

We present a fairly involved ILP-model for a complex personnel planning problem arising from a real-world application. Two main aspects distinguish the problem from standard models: (i) Several tasks may be executed by the same person simultaneously. However, this multi-tasking is subject to certain complicated conditions. (ii) Qualification of personnel is complex and totally inhomogeneous. We introduce a representation for both issues that is at the same time fairly general and still easy enough to operate for the personnel manager.
