[Help-glpk] Simple rostering GLPK example or resources?

[Harley Mackenzie]

  I was discussing a simple shift rostering problem with a colleague 
recently where he has a simple rostering problem with 1 team leader and 
1 team member on a 24 x 7 roster from a pool of leaders and team members 
and was looking for simple set covering GLPK solution. I have a lot of 
experience with other numerical techniques for solving rostering 
problems but would like to look at a mathprog formulated LP solution 
that I could play around with to suit the details required. Things like 
day of the week and weekend based availabilities, constraints and 
penalties and subjective rules such as preferences would be great.

The other requirement, that is a real test for any rostering solution 
technique, is for re-runs to minimise the disruption to an existing 
solution if changes are required once the roster is published.

If anyone has a GLPK example of something relevant to these requirements 
to get me going or can point me to any relevant resources, I would be 
much appreciated.

Regards,

Harley Mackenzie
