ABSTRACT
Worker cross-training is a problem arising in many industries and companies that involve human work, since workers that possess multiple skills, i.e., a qualification profile, may be employed more flexible on a day-to-day basis. At the same time it can be assumed that these workers are also incur a higher personnel cost. It is therefore of high interest to a company to balance the available skills such that customer deadlines can be met in a cost-efficient way. In this work we extend a simulation-based optimization approach with a third objective and apply NSGA-II.

Multi-objective optimization using teaching-learning-based optimization algorithm
Two major goals in multi-objective optimization are to obtain a set of nondominated solutions as closely as possible to the true Pareto front (PF) and maintain a well-distributed solution set along the Pareto front. In this paper, we propose a teaching-...
Inverted PBI in MOEA/D and its impact on the search performance on multi and many-objective optimization
GECCO '14: Proceedings of the 2014 Annual Conference on Genetic and Evolutionary ComputationMOEA/D decomposes a multi-objective optimization problem into a number of single objective optimization problems. Each single objective optimization problem is defined by a scalarizing function using a weight vector. In MOEA/D, there are several ...
Multimodal scalarized preferences in multi-objective optimization
GECCO '17: Proceedings of the Genetic and Evolutionary Computation ConferenceScalarization functions represent preferences in multi-objective optimization by mapping the vector of objectives to a single real value. Optimization techniques using scalarized preferences mainly focus on obtaining only a single global preference ...
