Coordinating collection and appointment scheduling operations at the blood donation sites
(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 ...
Integrated blood collection and appointment scheduling
(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 ...
A chance constraint based multi-item production planning model using simulation optimization
(IEEE, 2016)
We consider a single stage multi-item production-inventory system under stochastic demand. We had previously proposed a production planning model integrating ideas from forecast evolution and inventory theory to plan work ...
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 ...
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 ...
Selection of event tickets for bundling in sports and entertainment industry
(Elsevier, 2014-08)
Most sports and entertainment firms offer season tickets first, and they allow purchasing single tickets at a later date. Basic decision problems within this context are the determination of optimal time at which switch ...
Bounding strategies for the hybrid flow shop scheduling problem
(Elsevier, 2011-07-01)
In this paper, we investigate new lower and upper bounds for the multiple-center hybrid flow shop scheduling problem. We propose a family of center-based lower bounds as well as a destructive lower bound that is based on ...
Selective routing for post-disaster needs assessments
(Springer International Publishing, 2016)
In the immediate aftermath of a disaster, relief agencies perform needs assessment operations to investigate the effects of the disaster and understand the needs of the affected communities. Since assessments must be ...
Solving two-stage hybrid flow shop using climbing depth-bounded discrepancy search
(Elsevier, 2011-03)
This paper investigates how to adapt a discrepancy-based search method to solve two-stage hybrid flowshop scheduling problems in which each stage consists of several identical machines operating in parallel. The objective ...
A computational study of lower bounds for the two dimensional bin packing problem
(Elsevier, 2010-08-01)
We survey lower bounds for the variant of the two-dimensional bin packing problem where items cannot be rotated. We prove that the dominance relation claimed by Carlier et al. between their lower bounds and those of Boschetti ...
