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, ... -
Load dependent lead time modelling: a robust optimization approach
(IEEE, 2018-01-04)Although production planning models using nonlinear CFs have shown promising results for semiconductor wafer fabrication facilities, the lack of an effective methodology for estimating the CFs is a significant obstacle to ... -
A longitudinal model for song popularity prediction
(SciTePress, 2021)Usage of new generation music streaming platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music has increased rapidly in the last years. Automatic prediction of a song's popularity is valuable for these firms which in turn translates ... -
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 Markovian approach for time series prediction for quality control
(Elsevier, 2019)In this work we aim to predict quality levels of incoming batches of a selected product type to a white goods manufacturer from a third party supplier. We apply a Markov Model that captures the quality level of the incoming ... -
A math-heuristic approach for two echelon vendor managed inventory routing problem
(IEOM Society, 2021)This paper studies a two-echelon vendor managed inventory routing problem of a honey packager company that delivers packaged products from a single facility to multiple retailers and customers. The objective is creating a ... -
A mathematical model for customer lifetime value based offer management
(Springer, 2018)Customers with prepaid lines possess higher attrition risk compared to postpaid customers, since prepaid customers do not sign long-term obligatory contracts and may churn anytime. For this reason, mobile operators have ... -
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 ... -
MathOptimizer: a nonlinear optimization package for mathematica users
(2009)Mathematica is an advanced software system that enables symbolic computing, numerics, program code development, model visualization and professional documentation in a unified framework. Our MathOptimizer software package ... -
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 ...
