  text: "Sheltered workshops face the challenge of meeting their manufacturing objectives
    while considering the individual competencies and assistance needs of persons
    with disabilities. Moreover, work processes in sheltered workshops are weakly
    structured, allowing for frequent task interruptions and changes based on the
    preferences of impaired work persons. While the Industry 4.0 literature provides
    many real-time scheduling algorithms for incorporating multiple objectives and
    constraints, these algorithms fall short of the characteristics of sheltered workshops.
    The resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) is an optimization
    problem for computing manufacturing plans considering multiple objectives and
    resource constraints. Among many different RCPSP variants proposed in the literature,
    the multi-skill RCPSP (MSRCPSP) variant considers the individual skills of work
    persons when generating manufacturing plans. With the ongoing digital transformation
    of enterprises, new assistance systems enter the market, providing individual
    support to impaired work persons and compensating for lacking skills and abilities.\r\nThis
    paper proposes an MSRCPSP variant that incorporates assistance systems and learning
    tasks compensating for competence gaps in the skill matrix of impaired work persons.
    Furthermore, it decomposes tasks into individual work objects, which accounts
    for frequent task interruptions and task preferences of work persons. The algorithm
    is described and demonstrated using a manufacturing data set from an actual sheltered
    workshop. In a small evaluation study, the algorithm is tested by scheduling two
    impaired work persons in the assembly department of a medium-sized manufacturing
    company in the primary labor market. The evaluation study proves its real-world
    applicability and the suitability of scheduling algorithms for participation and
    inclusive work."
