| Abstract(in English) | For busy persons such as working people and students, it is very important to reduce the time for buying ingredients and cooking foods after working for long hours on a weekday. As one solution to achieve it, they buy ingredients in bulk and finish the preparation steps of foods as the preparation phase on a weekend after planning the menus of the following weekdays. On a weekday, they only need to buy remaining ingredients and cook the finishing steps of the foods as the finishing phase that they will eat on the day, which can reduce the necessary time for home cooking. In this paper, we propose the menu planning algorithm and bulk-buying ingredient selection algorithm for this two-phase cooking. Because these problems can be reduced from the NP-complete knapsack problem, these algorithms are based on greedy methods for the knapsack problem. Through solving instances for these problems, we verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms. |
