Abstract
We propose a flexible model and several integer linear programming and constraint programming formulations for integrated employee timetabling and production scheduling problems. A hybrid constraint and linear programming exact method is designed to solve a basic integrated employee timetabling and job-shop scheduling problem for lexicographic minimization of makespan and labor costs. Preliminary computational experiments show the potential of hybrid methods.
