Annualized hours: Comparing an exact optimization model with its approximation

In this thesis, we propose two mixed integer linear program formulations for an optimization problem that incorporates annualized hours: an exact one and an approximation. The objective of our model consists of three weighted parts: a part which minimizes the difference between working hours and contract hours for each employee per week, a part...

Annualised hours: Optimisation with heuristic algorithm

In this thesis, we analyse the optimisation of an annualised hours problem. Annualised hours problems are a widely studied subjects, in which the working hours for a given number of employees per week are minimised. We approach this problem with a mixed integer linear program, where the objective function of this problem is divided into two...
