| J | Enumeration ranging from 1 to (1 + E) for (P, E, N) in the parameter RC |
| R | Enumeration ranging from 1 to (P + EN) for (P, E, N) in parameter RC |
| rij | For (P, E, N) in the parameter RC: first P resources have rij=1. Thereafter, every consecutive block e in 2…E of N resources has rie=1. All remaining ub=0 |
| T | Enumeration ranging from 1 to (TPS × 3 days × 2 shifts per day). Consecutive shifts are designated as consecutive blocks of TPS tasks |
| Djk | (Uniform random value in PA) × (total available units of resource j) |
| dijk | SR for i=1, j>1 on all tasks k and 0 otherwise |
| Sjk | Uniform random value in SPR |
| yik | 0 in all initial problem versions, xik for corresponding initial problem in each updated problem |
| 0 in all initial problem versions, OTP in each updated problem |
| 0 in all initial problem versions, AFP in each updated problem |
| Aik | Let V=uniform random value in PA. Then for each resource i (V × total number of tasks) elements are randomly selected from T and Aik=1 for each element k. All other Aik=0 |
| uikk' | For each resource i, uikk'=1 for all tasks in either the same shift or the shift immediately preceding or following, 0 otherwise |
| Ljk | 5×Djk |
| Bik | BPA |
| cjk | Uniform random value in TCR if not going to dummy task, 0 otherwise (applies to transportation-based model only) |
