Hi,

I would like to do some research about scheduling resources.  Say for example, 
you have a set of resources that need to be used everyday.  Some of the 
resources work faster than others and some have more space than others.  
Sometimes the resources break down and need to be fixed and other times they 
simply need to be taken down for preventative maintenance.

I'm sure people have addressed this problem before.  Can anyone send me some 
references about the current research going on in this field?  In case anyone 
is interested, the resources I am talking about are people and the work 
assigned to them.

Thanks for any and all replies.
