Crew schedules on the South African Transport Services are done by roster
compilers at depots. A method that uses heuristic and mathematical
programming algorithms was developed to replace existing hand methods.
It is a two stage method that will use a microcomputer to assist roster compilers
to draw up crew schedules. Initially timetables are subdivided into shifts and
then they are combined into crew schedules.
The solution, which produces a significant improvement compared with an
existing crew schedule and an existing method, has been accepted in principle
and computer programming has begun.
In Appendix E another heuristic for the scheduling of league matches is
described.
