Development of lower bounds for the scheduling of setup tasks in serial production lines
(Inderscience Publishers, 2013)Efficient production resettings are necessary to achieve production flexibility. For this reason, it is of primary importance to reduce the setup time required to switch the production from one product type to another, and ... -
Solving the steiner tree problem with revenues, budget and hop constraints to optimality
(IEEE, 2013)We investigate the Steiner tree problem with revenues, budget and hop constraints (STPRBH) on graph, which is a generalization of the well-known Steiner tree problem. Given a root node, edge costs, nodes revenues, as well ... -
Allocating cost of service to customers in inventory routing
(Informs, 2013)Vendor-managed inventory VMI replenishment is a collaboration between a supplier and its customers, where the supplier is responsible for managing the customers' inventory levels. In the VMI setting we consider, the supplier ... -
Delegation vs. control of component procurement under asymmetric cost information and simple contracts
(Informs, 2013)A manufacturer must choose whether to delegate component procurement to her tier 1 supplier or control it directly. Because of information asymmetry about suppliers’ production costs and the use of simple quantity discount ... -
Tight compact models and comparative analysis for the prize collecting Steiner tree problem
(Elsevier, 2013-03)We investigate a generalized version of the prize collecting Steiner tree problem (PCSTP), where each node of a given weighted graph is associated with a prize as well as a penalty cost. The problem is to find a tree ... -
A continuous approximation approach for assessment routing in disaster relief
(Elsevier, 2013-04)In this paper, we focus on the assessment routing problem which routes teams to different communities to assess damage and relief needs following a disaster. To address time-sensitivity, the routing problem is modeled with ... -
Benchmarking nonlinear optimization software in technical computing environments
(Springer Science+Business Media, 2013-04)Our strategic objective is to develop a broadly categorized, expandable collection of test problems, to support the benchmarking of nonlinear optimization software packages in integrated technical computing environments ... -
Application of sequence-dependent traveling salesman problem in printed circuit board assembly
(IEEE, 2013-06)Optimization issues regarding the automated assembly of printed circuit boards attracted the interest of researchers for several decades. This is because even small gains in assembly time result in very important benefits ... -
VRP12 (vehicle routing problem with distances one and two) with side constraints
(Elsevier, 2013-08)The problem undertaken in this study is inspired from a real life application. Consider a vehicle routing problem where the distances between the customer locations are either one or two. We name this problem as VRP12 in ... -
Integrated experimental design and nonlinear optimization to handle computationally expensive models under resource constraints
(Springer Science+Business Media, 2013-09)In many real-world applications of optimization, the underlying descriptive system model is defined by computationally expensive functions: simulation modules, numerical models and other “black box” model components are ... -
A benders decomposition approach for an integrated airline schedule design and fleet assignment problem with flight retiming, schedule balance, and demand recapture
(Springer Science+Business Media, 2013-11)The airline’s ability to offer flight schedules that provide service to passengers at desired times in competitive markets, while matching demand with an aircraft fleet of suitable size and composition, can significantly ... -
A cost-sensitive decision tree approach for fraud detection
(Elsevier, 2013-11-01)With the developments in the information technology, fraud is spreading all over the world, resulting in huge financial losses. Though fraud prevention mechanisms such as CHIP&PIN are developed for credit card systems, ... -
Multi-vehicle sequential resource allocation for a nonprofit distribution system
(Informa Group, 2014)This article introduces a multi-vehicle sequential allocation problem that considers two critical objectives for nonprofit operations: providing equitable service and minimizing unused donations. This problem is motivated ... -
Modeling influenza pandemic and planning food distribution
(Informs, 2014)Based on the recent incidents of H5N1, H1N1, and influenza pandemics in history (1918, 1957, and 1968) experts believe that a future influenza pandemic is inevitable and likely imminent. Although the severity of influenza ... -
Developing a collaborative planning framework for sustainable transportation
(Hindawi Publishing, 2014)Currently, as being the highest petroleum consuming sector in the world, transportation significantly contributes to the total greenhouse gas emissions in the world. Road transportation not only is responsible for approximately ... -
Healthcare intelligence: Turning data into knowledge
(IEEE, 2014)Exceptional opportunities exist for researchers and practitioners to invest in conducting innovative and transformative research in data mining and health informatics. This IEEE Intelligent Systems "Trends and Controversies" ... -
On discounted stochastic games with incomplete information on payoffs and a security application
(Elsevier, 2014-01)This paper presents a robust optimization model for n-person finite state/action stochastic games with incomplete information on payoffs. For polytopic uncertainty sets, we propose an explicit mathematical programming ... -
The Steiner tree problem with delays: a compact formulation and reduction procedures
(Elsevier, 2014-02-19)This paper investigates the Steiner Tree Problem with Delays (STPD), a variation of the classical Steiner Tree problem that arises in multicast routing. We propose an exact solution approach that is based on a polynomial-size ... -
Supplier selection for framework agreements in humanitarian relief
(Wiley, 2014-06)In this study, we consider the supplier selection problem of a relief organization that wants to establish framework agreements (FAs) with a number of suppliers to ensure quick and cost-effective procurement of relief ... -
Near-optimal modified base stock policies for the capacitated inventory problem with stochastic demand and fixed cost
(World Scientific Publishing, 2014-06)In this study, we investigate a single-item, periodic-review inventory problem where the production capacity is limited and unmet demand is backordered. We assume that customer demand in each period is a stationary, discrete ...
