Abstract:
Optimisation problems associated with the field of Operations Research 
have, since World War II, been many and difficult. In this dissertation 
I experiment with a number of commonly used heuristics with the aim of 
extending them, so as to make them more effective and more efficient 
when applied to the non-associated multiple venue problem, described 
by Urban & Russell (2003), as well as a similar problem occurring in 
the University of Nottingham. This dissertation is concerned with the 
issues involved in implementing such heuristics and will demonstrate 
whether or not such a goal can be satisfied.
