The problem of designing workforce shifts and break patterns is a relevant employee scheduling problem that arises in many contexts, especially in service industries. The issue is ...
In this paper we apply the well known sample average approximation (SAA) method to solve a class of stochastic variational inequality problems (SVIPs). We investigate the existenc...
We adapt the competitive location model based on maximal covering to include the knowledge that a competitor will enter the market later with a single new facility. The objective ...
