An adaptive large neighborhood search for the multi-compartment inventory routing problem
Gültekin, Ceren (2021-06-10)In this thesis study, we concentrate on an inventory routing problem with a fleet of multi-compartment vehicles which enables the distribution of different products to customers on a delivery route. Using separate compartments ... -
Application of large-scale optimization methods in scheduling and routing problems
In this thesis, we consider three different applications of large-scale optimization methods. We focus on the blood donation tailoring problem under uncertain demand in the first problem. In the second one, we propose a ... -

Sarıkaya, Merve Burcu (2017-08)Vestel Electronics produces LCD/LED televisions and has a significant market share in consumer electronics sector in Europe. TV manufacturing is planned based on a make-to order strategy, and Vestel uses 15 assembly lines ... -
An application of unrelated parallel machine scheduling with sequence-dependent setups at Vestel Electronics
Ekici, Ali; Elyasi, Milad; Özener, Okan Örsan; Sarıkaya, M. B. (Elsevier, 2019-11)In this paper, we analyze a variant of the unrelated parallel machine scheduling problem with the objective of minimizing the total tardiness and earliness in the presence of sequence-dependent setups, unequal release ... -
Bin packing problem with conflicts and item fragmentation
Ekici, Ali (Elsevier, 2021-02)In this paper, we study the Bin Packing Problem with Conflicts and Item Fragmentation (BPPC-IF) which has applications in the delivery and storage of items that cannot be packed together. Given a set of items each with a ... -
Blood supply chain management and future research opportunities
Ekici, Ali; Özener, Okan Örsan; Göktürk, Elvin Çoban (Springer, 2018)In this chapter, we discuss the challenges and research opportunities in the blood collection operations and explore the benefits of recent advances in the blood donation process. According to the regulations, donated blood ... -
Coordinated inventory planning for humanitarian relief agencies
Karaca, Meserret (2016-07)Pre-positioning relief supplies in strategic locations around the world is essential for effective disaster response, especially during the critical 72 hours immediately following the disaster. Most of the existing studies ... -
Coordinating collection and appointment scheduling operations at the blood donation sites
Mobasher, A.; Ekici, Ali; Özener, Okan Örsan (Elsevier, 2015-09)According to the regulations imposed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the American Association of Blood Banks, in order to extract platelets, donated blood units have to be processed at a processing center ... -
Creating an evacuation plan during an emergency by coordinating vehicles
Bacaksız, Hazal (2018-10)As disaster relief operations required quick and e ective service, especially evacuating victims from disaster area will be more problematic. In this paper, the problem is about evacuating the people who need service after ... -
Cyclic delivery schedules for an inventory routing problem
Ekici, Ali; Özener, Okan Örsan; Kuyzu, G. (Informs, 2015-11)We consider an inventory routing problem where a common vendor is responsible for replenishing the inventories of several customers over a perpetual time horizon. The objective of the vendor is to minimize the total cost ... -
Cyclic ordering policies from capacitated suppliers under limited cycle time
Ekici, Ali; Özener, Okan Örsan; Duran, S. (Elsevier, 2019-02)In this paper, we study the ordering policy of a manufacturer/retailer which procures a single item from multiple capacitated suppliers and satisfies an exogenous deterministic and constant demand. Manufacturer's objective ... -
Dynamic facility location with supplier selection under quantity discount
Emirhüseyinoğlu, Görkem; Ekici, Ali (Elsevier, 2019-08)Retailers have to consider several factors when making facility location decisions including suppliers' and customers' locations, customer demand and price offered by suppliers. In this study, we analyze the multi-period ... -
An exact approach for a dynamic workforce scheduling problem
Koç, Ersin (2018-01)Taking into account the global and national rules and regulations, assigning a given number of employees to planned shifts while paying attention to required working hours, rest times and off day/days is one of the most ... -
Facility location with supplier selection under quantity discount
Emirhüseyinoğlu, Görkem (2017-07)The purpose of this study is to identify the locations of distribution facilities and choose the suppliers in a two echelon system where items are purchased from suppliers under quantity discount policy and distributed to ... -
Genetic algorithms and heuristics hybridized for software architecture recovery
Elyasi, Milad; Simitcioğlu, Muhammed Esad; Saydemir, Abdullah; Ekici, Ali; Özener, Okan Örsan; Sözer, Hasan (Springer, 2023-06-26)Large scale software systems must be decomposed into modular units to reduce maintenance efforts. Software Architecture Recovery (SAR) approaches have been introduced to analyze dependencies among software modules and ... -
Humanitarian relief distribution problem: an adjustable robust optimization approach
Avishan, Farzad; Elyasi, Milad; Yanıkoğlu, İhsan; Ekici, Ali; Özener, Okan Örsan (Informs, 2023-03-23)Management of humanitarian logistics operations is one of the most critical planning problems to be addressed immediately after a disaster. The response phase covers the first 12 hours after the disaster and is prone to ... -
Humanitarian relief supplies distribution: an application of inventory routing problem
Çankaya, Emre; Ekici, Ali; Özener, Okan Örsan (Springer, 2019-12)In this paper, we study the distribution of humanitarian relief supplies. In humanitarian relief, supplies including food, water and medication are received in batches/waves from the suppliers and the donors. Then, these ... -
HYGAR: a hybrid genetic algorithm for software architecture recovery
Elyasi, Milad; Simitcioğlu, Muhammed Esad; Saydemir, Abdullah; Ekici, Ali; Sözer, Hasan (ACM, 2022)Genetic algorithms have been used for clustering modules of a software system in line with the modularity principle. The goal of these algorithms is to recover an architectural view in the form of a modular structural ... -
Improving blood products supply through donation tailoring
Özener, Okan Örsan; Ekici, Ali; Göktürk, Elvin Çoban (Elsevier, 2019-02)Recent technological advances, called Multicomponent Apheresis, allow tailoring the blood donations based on the demand and current inventory levels of blood products. Different from the most common type of blood donation ... -
Integrated blood collection and appointment scheduling
Mobasher, A.; Ekici, Ali; Özener, Okan Örsan (Institute of Industrial Engineers, 2012)Considering the processing requirements of donated blood, we study an integrated blood collection and appointment scheduling problem. We develop a mixed integer programming model to maximize the amount of donated blood ...
