We consider the problem of planning the ISS cosmonaut training
with different objectives. A pre-defined set of minimum qualification
levels should be distributed between the crew members with minimum
training time differences, training expenses or a maximum of the train-
ing level with a limitation of the budget.
First, a description of the cosmonaut training process is given.
Then four models are considered for the volume planning problem.
The objective of the first model is to minimize the differences between
the total time of the preparation of all crew members, the objective of
the second one is to minimize the training expenses with a limitation of
the training level, and the objective of the third one is to maximize the
training level with a limited budget. The fourth model considers the
problem as an n-partition problem. Then two models are considered
for the calendar planning problem.
