Abstract

The nurse scheduling problem (NSP) is the problem involving allocating the monthly shifts (day and night shifts, holidays, and so on) for nurses under various constraints. Generally, the NSP has a lot of constraints. As a result, it needs a lot of knowledge and experience to make the scheduling table with its constraints, and it has been made by the head nurse or the authority in the hospitals. This allocation of the shifts gives a lot of burden (time and efforts) to them, and it has been growing the demand for the automatic nurse scheduling system. This chapter aims to develop a genetic algorithm application for the Nurse Scheduling Problem (NSP). The application will be developed using Microsoft Visual Studio in C# programming language.
