Adaptive approach heuristics for the generalized assignment problem

Ramalhinho-Lourenço, Helena; Serra, Daniel - Department of Economics and Business, Universitat … - 1998

The Generalized Assignment Problem consists in assigning a set of tasks to a set of agents with minimum cost. Each … certain amount of the resource of the agent. We present new metaheuristics for the generalized assignment problem based on … by concluding remarks and ideas on future research in generalized assignment related problems. …

Demand Allocation in Multiple-Product, Multiple-Facility, Make-to-Stock Systems

Benjaafar, Saif; ElHafsi, Mohsen; Véricourt, Francis de - In: Management Science 50 (2004) 10, pp. 1431-1448

We consider the problem of allocating demand arising from multiple products to multiple production facilities with finite capacity and load-dependent lead times. Production facilities can choose to manufacture items either to stock or to order. Products vary in their demand rates, holding and...

Scheduling of project networks by job assignment

Drexl, Andreas - 1990

A recurring problem in project management involves the allocation of scarce resources to the individual jobs comprising the project. In many situations such as audit scheduling, the resources correspond to individuals (skilled labour). This naturally leads to an assignment type project...

Algorithms for the Multi-Resource Generalized Assignment Problem

Gavish, Bezalel; Pirkul, Hasan - In: Management Science 37 (1991) 6, pp. 695-713

The multi-resource generalized assignment problem is encountered when a set of tasks have to be assigned to a set of … resources consumed by that agent. This problem differs from the generalized assignment problem in that an agent consumes not … procedures for the multi-resource generalized assignment problem. Various relaxations of the problem are studied and theoretical …
