Abstract

This article presents a mathematical model for manpower scheduling for unbalanced production lines in order to minimize in‐process inventory cost. The model extends prior work by adding workers' skill limitations to the system. The model is formulated for a one‐period schedule and then extended for multiperiod schedules. An example problem is solved for both single and multiperiods. A heuristic algorithm is also presented for multiperiod and large‐scale problems, and computational experiences are reported.
