GRASP for seafaring staff scheduling: Real case

Abstract

The human resources represent the key performance of each component of the supply chain. In this context and in order to optimize these resources, this work deals with a problem of seafaring staff scheduling through the proposal of a mathematic formulation of this problem and an interactive decision support that is based on two approximate methods. It should be noted that the results was approved through a real data case collected from a maritime company called SONOTRAK.
