The challenge of rescheduling nursing staff: Informing the development of a mathematical model decision tool (2014)
Report
Clark, A., Moule, P., Brodie, L., & Topping, A. (2014). The challenge of rescheduling nursing staff: Informing the development of a mathematical model decision tool

Executive Summary: This report presents the findings and recommendations from a preliminary investigation into how an NHS organisation manages sudden nursing staff shortfalls. Unexpected staff absences, which can occur on a daily basis, can impact on...

Mapping and analysis of research and KE funding sources for operational research in the UK (2014)
Report
Clark, A. (2014). Mapping and analysis of research and KE funding sources for operational research in the UK

This project came about in 2013 after a discussion with the Chair of the Education and Research Committee of the Operational Research Society (ORS) about obtaining a clearer idea of the range and characteristics of sources of funding for research in...

Production lot sizing and scheduling with non-triangular sequence-dependent setup times (2014)
Journal Article
Clark, A., Mahdieh, M., & Rangel, S. (2014). Production lot sizing and scheduling with non-triangular sequence-dependent setup times. International Journal of Production Research, 52(8), 2490-2503. https://doi.org/10.1080/00207543.2014.885662

This paper considers a production lot sizing and scheduling problem with sequence-dependent setup times that are not triangular. Consider, for example, a product that contaminates some other product unless either a decontamination occurs as part of a...

Reformulation-linearization technique for modelling scheduling decisions (2014)
Book Chapter
Maldonado, M., Rangel, S., & Clark, A. (2014). Reformulation-linearization technique for modelling scheduling decisions. In R. Z. Ríos-Mercado, J. F. Camacho-Vallejo, J. L. González-Velarde, & M. Laguna (Eds.), Recent Advances in Theory, Methods, and Practice of Operations Research (128-135). Monterrey, Mexico: UANL - Casa Universitaria del Libro

The objective of this work is to discuss the use of formulations for the Asymmetric Traveling Salesman Problem for modelling the scheduling decisions in a big bucket approach for the integrated lot sizing and scheduling problem. We apply the Reformul... Read More about Reformulation-linearization technique for modelling scheduling decisions.
