Integrated airline schedule design and fleet assignment: polyhedral analysis and benders’ decomposition approach
(Informs, 2010-01)The main airline operations consist of schedule planning, fleet assignment, aircraft routing, and crew scheduling. To improve profitability, we present in this paper an integrated fleet assignment model with schedule ... -
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 ... -
Integrating social network effects in the share-of-choice problem
(Wiley, 2017-12)Accounting for social network effects in marketing strategies has become an important issue. Taking a step back, we seek to incorporate and analyze social network effects on new product development and then propose a model ... -
Inventory routing for the last mile delivery of humanitarian relief supplies
(Springer Nature, 2020-09)Fast and equitable distribution of the humanitarian relief supplies is key to the success of relief operations. Delayed and inequitable deliveries can result in suffering of affected people and loss of lives. In this study, ... -
Lane-exchange mechanisms for truckload carrier collaboration
(Informs, 2011-02)Because of historically high fuel prices, the trucking industry's operating expenses are higher than ever and thus profit margins are lower than ever. To cut costs, the trucking industry is searching for and exploring new ... -
A large neighborhood search algorithm and lower bounds for the variable-sized bin packing problem with conflicts
(Elsevier, 2023-08-01)In this paper, we study the Variable-Sized Bin Packing Problem with Conflicts (VSBPPC). In VSBPPC, a set of items each with a certain size has to be packed into bins of various types. Bin types differ in terms of their ... -
League scheduling and game bundling in sports industry
(Elsevier, 2014-08)Most sport clubs offer season tickets first and they allow purchasing single tickets at a later date. There are several decision problems within this context; the determination of the optimal time at which the switch from ... -
Least-cost influence maximization on social networks
(Informs, 2020-03)Viral-marketing strategies are of significant interest in the online economy. Roughly, in these problems, one seeks to identify which individuals to strategically target in a social network so that a given proportion of ... -
A literature review on inventory management in humanitarian supply chains
(Elsevier, 2016)In this paper, we present a review and analysis of studies that focus on humanitarian inventory planning and management. Specifically, we focus on papers which develop policies and models to determine how much to stock, ... -
A machine learning approach to deal with ambiguity in the humanitarian decision-making
(Wiley, 2023-09)One of the major challenges for humanitarian organizations in response planning is dealing with the inherent ambiguity and uncertainty in disaster situations. The available information that comes from different sources in ... -
Managing platelet supply through improved routing of blood collection vehicles
(Elsevier, 2018-10)In this paper, we study the routing of blood collection vehicles for improving the platelet supply in the blood supply chain. In order to extract platelets, donated blood has to be processed at a central processing facility ... -
A mathematical model for equitable in-country COVID-19 vaccine allocation
(Taylor and Francis, 2022)Given the scarcity of COVID-19 vaccines, equitable (fair) allocation of limited vaccines across the main administrative units of a country (e.g. municipalities) has been an important concern for public health authorities ... -
A mathematical model for perishable products with price- and displayed-stock-dependent demand
(Elsevier, 2016-12)We introduce an economic order quantity model that incorporates product assortment, pricing and space-allocation decisions for a group of perishable products. The goal is to maximize the retailer’s profit under shelf-space ... -
Mathematical optimization for time series decomposition
(Springer, 2021-09)Decomposing time series into trend and seasonality components reveals insights used in forecasting and anomaly detection. This study proposes a mathematical optimization approach that addresses several data-related issues ... -
Metaheuristics for the traveling salesman problem with pickups, deliveries and handling costs
(Elsevier, 2012-05)This paper studies the Traveling Salesman Problem with Pickups, Deliveries, and Handling Costs. The subproblem of minimizing the handling cost for a fixed route is analyzed in detail. It is solved by means of an exact ... -
Migrating birds optimization: a new metaheuristic approach and its performance on quadratic assignment problem
(Elsevier, 2012-12-25)We propose a new nature inspired metaheuristic approach based on the V flight formation of the migrating birds which is proven to be an effective formation in energy saving. Its performance is tested on quadratic assignment ... -
Mitigating the impact of drug shortages for a healthcare facility: An inventory management approach
(Elsevier, 2016-05-16)Despite the importance and value of the pharmaceutical market, a significant portion of procurement spending including pharmaceuticals are lost. Coupling poor and reactive management practices with the inevitable national ... -
A model to estimate cost-savings in diabetic foot ulcer prevention efforts
(Elsevier, 2017)Background: Sustained efforts at preventing diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) and subsequent leg amputations are sporadic in most health care systems despite the high costs associated with such complications. We sought to estimate ... -
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 ...
