How to solve it? Exact methods Good for solving limited-size problems Metaheuristic methods Can deal with large-scale problems • Hybrid solution approach (General idea): • Decompose the problem into sub-problems, each associated with a period • The sub-problems are of reduced size, so an exact method can be used • Combine the solutions of the sub-problems to get a solution of the original problem • Improve this solution using a metaheuristic method
