Chapter 3. <strong>The</strong> model and design 14<br />

|V ars| = |Shifts| · |<strong>Doctor</strong>s| · |Schedule|<br />

= 4 · m · n = 4 · 6 · 100<br />

= 2400<br />

Given 10 constraints, the total number of constraints for this problem becomes:<br />

|Equations| = |Shifts| · |<strong>Doctor</strong>s| · |Schedule| · |Constraints|<br />

= 4 · m · n · 10 = 4 · 6 · 100 · 10<br />

= 24000<br />

Commonly, problems are big if they have more than 2500 variables and 10000 equations.<br />

This is not ruling out that any larger problems can not be solved, as techniques (i.e.<br />

Cutting-plane method, Branch and cut) exist that, using the constraints, can limit the<br />

search region of the problem. A topic not addressed in this project.
