The The Robust Nurse Scheduling Problem

Abstract

In hospitals, nurse scheduling and assignment is a major issue. In order to keep
hospital expenses down and respect the preferences of the nurses, a well-planned schedule is
needed. For the nurse scheduling problem (NSP), we provide a novel mathematical formulation
that incorporates certain additional restrictions. For coping with uncertainty, we also present a
resilient equivalent to the deterministic model, which is based on the worst-case scenario A future
project will focus on developing a solution and putting it into action.
