Article - Main Track Fairness in Physician Scheduling Problem in Emergency Rooms Author: DEVESSE, V. A. P. A.; SANTOS, M. O.; TOLEDO, C. F. M. Abstract: The aim of fairness in physician scheduling is to build up schedules with high level of compliance of work regulations and individual preferences while violations stemming from requirements are softened and fairly distributed along the workforce. In this paper, we address the fairness in physician scheduling problemin emergency rooms by means of mathematical programming. A minimax MIP and MIP based heuristics relax-and-fix and fix-and-optimize are introduced to create balanced scheduling fromthe set of physicians. The solutions achieved present high quality in terms of fairness despite the lower bound, which is the main drawback in this problem. Keywords: Fairness, Physician Scheduling Problem, MIP, Fix-and-Optimize, Combinatorial Optimization. Complete Reference: Devesse, V. A. P. A.; Santos, M. O.; Toledo, C. F.
