The objective is to determine\n    the optimal number of employees that should be present at a given\n    time period in order to maximize revenues. The revenue curve can\n    then be used to construct operational schedules that maximized the\n    expected profit, instead of focusing on lowering paid hours. This\n    formulation yields a non linear integer problem, which we tackle\n    with different approaches such constraint programming and MIP (after\n    linearization).\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Personnel Scheduling in the Retail Sector"}],"uid":"27187","created_gmt":"2011-11-29 12:54:43","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 01:56:45","author":"Anita Race","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2011-12-02T10:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2011-12-02T11:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2011-12-02T11:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2011-12-02 15:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2011-12-02 16:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2011-12-02 16:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1242","name":"School of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISYE)"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EAlan Erera\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
