A Stochastic Programming Model For Scheduling Maintenance Personnel

Abstract

In this paper the maintenance scheduling problem is cast in a stochastic framework. Then, a stochastic programming model with recourse is developed for the problem. The model is a stochastic version of Robert and Escudero model for scheduling maintenance personnel. An illustrative example is given to demonstrate the utility of the model, and the Value of the stochastic solution is calculated and it showed about 10% improvement over the deterministic formulation of the maintenance scheduling problem.
