English abstract:
An industrial test laboratories, a large number of tests have to be scheduled, requiring qualified personnel and specialized equipment. At the same time, various different constraints have to be satisfied, including project deadlines, resource availabilities and precedence relations between the tests.
This problem is related to the well-known Resource Constraint Project Scheduling Problem (RCPSP) (see e.g. [1, 3]), but contains several novel features, which have to the best of our knowledge not yet been discussed elsewhere. Most notably, it requires the solver to group multiple tasks into a larger unit, which is then assigned a time slot and resources.
We provide a definition of the Test Laboratory Scheduling Problem (TLSP), together with a set of benchmarking instances (both from a real-world laboratory and randomly generated). In addition, we have implemented a Local Search framework for this problem, which supports various Metaheuristics.
