Abstract

This paper describes a penalty adjustment technique for CGA applied to the nurse scheduling problem. The nurse scheduling is very complex task, because many requirements must be considered. In real hospital, some changes of the schedule often happen. Such a change of the shift schedule yields various inconveniences. Such an inconvenience causes the fall of the nursing level of the whole nurse organization. Furthermore, reoptimization of the schedule including such changes is very hard task and requires very long computing time. To improve this problem, we propose a technique to adjust penalty coefficient through the optimization.
