Abstract
We propose goal programming (GP) models for an integrated problem of staff duties planning and scheduling, for baggage services section staff at the Hong Kong International Airport. The problem is solved via its decomposition into a GP planner, followed by a GP scheduler. The results can be adopted as a good crew schedule in the sense that it is both feasible, satisfying various work conditions, and “optimal” in minimizing overtime shifts.
