Nowadays, the nurse scheduling problem (NSP) has attracted a great amount of attentions. In this problem,the nurses are scheduled to be assigned to the shifts by considering the required nurses for each day during the planning horizon. In the current study, a bi-objective mathematical model is formulated in order to maximize the preferences of the nurses to work on the shifts in addition to be off on the weekends. In real-world problems, higher quality schedules are provided considering the uncertainty. In this point of view, we investigate the uncertainty on the preferences of the nurses for the working shifts and the weekends off. In fact, a compensatory fuzzy approach based on the Werners’ fuzzy and operator is proposed to investigate the effects of the uncertainty on the considered research problem. Then, several sample problems are generated to support the efficiency of the developed fuzzy model. Finally, a sensitivity analysis is implemented to determine the effects of the changes of the parameters on the obtained results. Manuscript profile

In this study, a mathematical programming model is developed for a single round-robin tournament problem to provide a schedule for the preliminary round of the Volleyball Nations League. In this setting, the aim is to assign the teams to the pools at each week as well as to specify the host teams of the pools. This schedule is obtained by minimizing the sum of the differences between the total distance traveled by every team and the average of the total distances traveled by all teams. Then, to evaluate the performance of the developed model, it is applied to obtain the optimal schedule for the preliminary round of the Volleyball Men’s Nations League in year 2018. The results indicate that the sum of the travel distance deviations from the average of the total travel distances of all teams obtained from the schedule provided by the mathematical model is significantly lower than that calculated from the schedule presented by the International Volleyball Federation. Moreover, the schedule presented by the International Volleyball Federation leads to a percentage gap of 449.92% in comparison with the optimal schedule provided by the developed model.
