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. |
