TLDR
The proposed simulation model could be used as a tool to support the management of the line maintenance department in solving various capacity planning issues related to the manpower requirement and scheduling.Abstract:
This paper describes the development of a computerized line maintenance simulation model for strategic manpower planning at Continental Airlines for one of their major maintenance stations at Newark airport. The simulation model provides guidelines to the development of enhanced staffing models and a better understanding of resource requirements on a daily basis. The proposed simulation model could be used as a tool to support the management of the line maintenance department in solving various capacity planning issues related to the manpower requirement and scheduling. The recent capabilities of simulation modeling, namely optimization modeling is adopted in search of enhanced shift schedule of technicians that would improve the efficiency of the existing system.read more

The fleet assignment problem: Solving a large-scale integer program
Christopher A. Hane,Cynthia Barnhart,Ellis L. Johnson,Roy E. Marsten,George L. Nemhauser,Gabriele Sigismondi +5 more
TL;DR: This model of the fleet assignment problem is a large multi-commodity flow problem with side constraints defined on a time-expanded network, and the algorithm found solutions with a maximum optimality gap of 0.02% and is more than two orders of magnitude faster than using default options of a standard LP-based branch-and-bound code.
