Union rules state that * each full-time employee must work for 5 consecutive days and then receive * two days off. For example, an employee who works on Monday to Friday * must be off on Saturday and Sunday. The post office wants to meet its * daily requirements using only full-time employees. Minimize the number * of employees that must be hired. * * To summarize the important information about the problem: * * Every full-time worker works for 5 consecutive days and takes 2 days off * - Day 1 (Monday): 17 workers needed * - Day 2 : 13 workers needed * - Day 3 : 15 workers needed * - Day 4 : 19 workers needed * - Day 5 : 14 workers needed * - Day 6 : 16 workers needed * - Day 7 (Sunday) : 11 workers needed * * The post office needs to minimize the number of employees it needs * to hire to meet its demand. * """ * * Also see http://www.hakank.org/or-tools/post_office_problem2.py * */ private static void Solve() { Solver solver = new Solver("PostOfficeProblem2"); // // Data // // days 0..6, monday 0 int n = 7; int[] need = {17, 13, 15, 19, 14, 16, 11}; // Total cost for the 5 day schedule. // Base cost per day is 100. // Working saturday is 100 extra // Working sunday is 200 extra. int[] cost = {500, 600, 800, 800, 800, 800, 700}; // // Decision variables // // No. of workers starting at day i IntVar[] x = solver.MakeIntVarArray(n, 0, 100, "x"); IntVar total_cost = x.ScalProd(cost).Var(); IntVar num_workers = x.Sum().Var(); // // Constraints // for(int i = 0; i < n; i++) { IntVar s = (from j in Enumerable.Range(0, n) where j != (i+5) % n && j != (i+6) % n select x[j]).ToArray().Sum().Var(); solver.Add(s >= need[i]); } // Add a limit for the cost solver.Add(total_cost <= 20000); // // objective // // OptimizeVar obj = total_cost.Minimize(100); // // Search // DecisionBuilder db = solver.MakePhase(x, Solver.CHOOSE_MIN_SIZE_LOWEST_MIN, Solver.ASSIGN_MIN_VALUE); solver.NewSearch(db, obj); while (solver.NextSolution()) { Console.WriteLine("num_workers: {0}", num_workers.Value()); Console.WriteLine("total_cost: {0}", total_cost.Value()); Console.Write("x: "); for(int i = 0; i < n; i++) { Console.Write(x[i].Value() + " "); } Console.WriteLine("\n"); } Console.WriteLine("\nSolutions: {0}", solver.Solutions()); Console.WriteLine("WallTime: {0}ms", solver.WallTime()); Console.WriteLine("Failures: {0}", solver.Failures()); Console.WriteLine("Branches: {0} ", solver.Branches()); solver.EndSearch(); } public static void Main(String[] args) { Solve(); } }
