Exact methods for the robotic cell problem
(Springer Science+Business Media, 2011-06)
This paper investigates an exact method for the Robotic Cell Problem. We present a branch-and-bound algorithm which is the first exact procedure specifically designed with regard to this complex flow shop scheduling variant. ...
Decision rule bounds for two-stage stochastic bilevel programs
(Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics Publications, 2018)
We study two-stage stochastic bilevel programs where the leader chooses a binary here-and-now decision and the follower responds with a continuous wait-and-see decision. Using modern decision rule approximations, we construct ...
An exact algorithm for the Steiner tree problem with delays
(Elsevier, 2010-08-01)
The Steiner Tree Problem with Delays (STPD) is a variant of the well-known Steiner Tree Problem in which the delay on each path between a source node and a terminal node is limited by a given maximum value. We propose a ...
Cyclic ordering policies from capacitated suppliers under limited cycle time
(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 ...
Solving a large-scale integrated fleet assignment and crew pairing problem
(Springer International Publishing, 2017)
Airline schedule planning problems are typically decomposed into smaller problems, which are solved in a sequential manner, due to the complexity of the overall problems. This results in suboptimal solutions as well as ...
Exact and heuristic approaches to detect failures in failed k-out-of-n systems
(Elsevier, 2019-12)
This paper considers a k-out-of-n system that has just failed. There is an associated cost of testing each component. In addition, we have apriori information regarding the probabilities that a certain set of components ...
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 ...
Discrepancy search for the flexible job shop scheduling problem
(Elsevier, 2010-12)
The flexible job shop scheduling problem (FJSP) is a generalization of the classical job shop problem in which each operation must be processed on a given machine chosen among a finite subset of candidate machines. The aim ...
Blood supply chain management and future research opportunities
(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 ...
