| dc.description.abstract | ENGLISH ABSTRACT: A big passenger transport company experienced problems with the
utilization of their maintenance crews. Large amounts of overtime
were logged, while at the same time a lot of idle time was
experienced. This paper describes the development on a
microcomputer of a Decision Support System (DSS) to improve their
shift scheduling. Central to the DSS is a heuristic algorithm
which generates shift schedules. This algorithm is easy to
understand and provides good results, while it solves the real
life problem rapidly on a microcomputer. | en_ZA |
| dc.description.abstract | AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: 'n Groot passasiersvervoermaatokappy het probleme ondervind met
die benutting van hulle onderhoudspersoneel. Baie oortyd is gewerk
en terselfdertyd is baie ledige tyd opgeteken. Hierdie artikel
beskryf die ontwikkeling op 'n mikrorekenaar van 'n Besluitnemingsondersteuningstelsel
(BOS) om hulle skofteskedulering te
verbeter. Die belangrikste element van die BOS is 'n heuristiese
algoritme wat skofteskedules genereer. Hierdie algoritme is maklik
om te verstaan en genereer goeie skedules. Terselfdertyd los dit
die maatskappy se probleem vinnig op 'n mikrorekenaar op. | af_ZA |
