Interesting. GA's have some interesting use cases. We used a GA to optimize assignment of work crews to areas as part of a scheduling optimization, and achieved significant benefits

Seen similar benefits - many years ago applied GA's to schedule technicians to fix computers (based on location, part availability, skill set, etc) and also for manufacturing production lines (labor rules, parts, color changeovers, demand, margin)
