Abstract
A quasi-optimization algorithm to generate chain restaurant work scheduling (WS) is proposed based on a genetic algorithm with fuzzy logic, where the whole weekly chain restaurant WS problem is fuzzily decomposed into 7 daily WS problems and a combined weekly WS problem. The proposed algorithm expresses the requirements of individual members by membership functions in fuzzy logic and finds a nearoptimal solution using the genetic algorithm. Experimental results verified that a 24-hour 7-day schedule for 15 workers at a chain restaurant is produced in 6 minutes using the proposed algorithm implemented with C++ and executed on a PC. A professional expert evaluated WS quality as satisfactory.
