Airline crew management and optimization

Lufthansa Systems Hungária is a company that works on different types of software in the aviation industry. One of our products is a tool that helps the creation of the schedule of airline crew. In a bit more detail the task is the following.

Assume we work for an airline and our task is to create the schedule of airline crew. The input consists of the schedule of the flights (when to fly, where from and where to, with what kind of aircraft and what kind of crew), and the employees of our company, those who can serve as crew members on a flight (that is, pilots, co-pilots, stewards and stewardesses). The output is a schedule in which we tell which flight will be served by which crew members. (In other words, we have to tell each of our employees where and when they have to be in service.) We solve this problem with a classical combinatorial optimization model.

In the talk I will explain the model and I will say a few words about the solution approach.

The talk is held in Hungarian!
