Abstract

A quasi-optimization algorithm for generating a chain restaurant work scheduling (WS) is proposed based on Genetic Algorithm with fuzzy logic, where the whole weekly chain restaurant WS problem is decomposed to 7 daily WS problems and a combined weekly WS problem. Experimental result shows that a weekly schedule for 15 workers and 24 hours in a chain restaurant is produced in 6 minutes using the proposed algorithm implemented with C++ and executed on a PC(Athlon XP 1900+), where the quality of WS is satisfactorily evaluated by professional experts.
